And the whole point of gravy is to use the juices from the joint anyway.
Not that I've heard of Rachel Ray...

The socialisation aspect of growing up and the associated parenting is about setting limits. It is important for parents to understand that from toddler to teenager, the child is deliberately (or better, naturally ) testing the limits, and it is the parents' place and responsibility to set those limits - not control exactly, but drawing a line and keeping to it. The idea that children are small adults, to be consulted and reasoned with in all matters has IMO caused a great deal of damage. Which is not to say that they shouldn't be taught to think and reason independantly, of course!

actually i meant it more as in their lack of control over their aggressive behavior rather than their inability to set limits (although, come to think of it, they have problems with that too).

Dearest grog sled,
I really hate Rachel Ray. You see, I couldn't get to sleep and went to watch some tv. Nothing much was on, but my brother had recorded some food network thanksgiving thingy which apparently heavily featured Alton Brown. Unfortunately, that stupid harpy was also on the show, and you won't fucking believe this, but she used extra virgin olive oil while making gravy. What the hell people? I know she's turned her stupid "EVOO" thing into an Emeril level gimmick, but holy shit. Does she not realize what a waste that is? Doesn't she realize the whole point of "extra virgin" is in large part due to the amount of heat the stuff is exposed to? Graaah!

Was that the one where Giada DiLaurentis baked mashed potatoes? I was hell of confused.

Yeah, see, it's just all kinds of inexplicable. I have no idea why you would really use a cooking oil when you're already using drippings or lard to begin with. I mean, I've made onion gravy with cooking oil instead of beef broth before, but extra virgin isn't even really proper cooking oil, it just tastes like crap once you heat it up very high. I am not a good cook, but man, she makes my head hurt.
