Maple Abuse

This kind of thing is just what I was talking about. Nigella usually appears on page 3 or 5 of DI/DO, also occupied by the Chef series sometimes. Thus, when she initially appeared, I presumed it was a limited run, esp. since she appeared soon after an article mocking her. (I recall it reported that "Nigella Swallows"was a fave nickname of her BBC show.)  But she just won't go away, and now she's encouraging us to eat with our fingers. Thank God! No need for that corn tee this summer--Nigella says we can eat with our fingers! If it did not involve roasting, I would have guessed that this "Maple Chicken 'n' (her 'n,' not mine) Chicken and Ribs" was cribbed from the cookbook that came with my Crockpot. Thighs and ribs roasted together might be alchemy, but the maple syrup it calls for here is just retarded--with the star anise, cinnamon, garlic, and red pepper, you could make this with Karo, molasses, or antifreeze and no one would be the wiser. Just do not forget to "plonk" your potato. Tie Domi, the fair maple is being insulted. Where are you?
He might be here, actually.

Notwithstanding recent criticism in your comments, the Nigella/Domi juxtaposition is blowing my mind.

I was just going to say the same thing. But you said it approximately 22 hours before. Now I just feel unoriginal.

JuxtaPolePosition. Atari racing games for English majors. Give it a thought. Can't be worse than "E.T." was on the 2600.
