Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 06, 2015

That doesn’t look like a pot. It looks like a bucket. What kind of meal is made in a bucket, I wonder?

It’’s a pot I recognize well having grown up around restaurants and cleaning ‘em even younger than Danae. And it isn’t even a BIG one!

That’s not disgusting; now if you want to see disgusting, I’ll show you…..

My wife’s favorite cooking container is a enamel-coated, porcelain-lined, cast iron crock pot. Good grief! The lid alone’s gotta weigh 5 pounds! Flipping that tub around in the sink is not conducive to joint health.

My wife’s favorite cooking utensil is me. No wonder I stay potted all the time.

I love cooking with cast iron; it’s good for building upper body strength and lower back muscles (especially when you store them at the back of the closet).

How much do you want to bet that Kate is off somewhere reading a book, probably something by Carl Hiaasen, Hey, Danae, what was the last book you’ve read..?…..I bet she’s read Twilight……………………….BTW, buckets usually have swing handles that go from side to side. That looks like a restaurant style pot to me….Not sure what they had to eat, but there was a lot of it…..

I was forced into servitude once I was tall enough to reach the sink. But yeah, the pots and pans were always the worst. Yuck.

The awful things kids havta do after meals; wash dishes.

Look at the bright side Danae, at least this is not from the scene in History of the World, Pt. 1

A lobster cooking pot….or one nice big chili cooking pot, with meals to last a week! Or a pasta pot!

Two words Dad: Automatic Dishwasher.

Lots of stew, chili, and other stuff that might leave a slimy mess can be made in a pot like that.

When I was a kid our neighbors consisted of a large family, about 15 total I think.A large cook pot took up two burners on the stove. One day she was in Dawson & Stewart General Merchandise, and spied a row of well, thunder mugs, uh…chamber mugs….all tall white enameled, pristine in their unused glory.She bought two. Stove top problem solved. I have eaten many a meal cooked in a pee pot.

Wish we could edit. Should read “One day the Mom was in………”

You want to show her disgusting?Leave that pot on the stove with the lid on for 4 or 5 days, and then have her wash it.That’ll show her a whole new dimension in disgusting.

I’m with Danae, bet she grows up to be a ravishing brunette beauty and a great wife – notice the muscle work when she realizes the reality of the situation -Lets get this Over With!…There’s better thing to Do!

Maybe he cooked some lobstahs!

Washing a messy pot is a lot easier if you let it soak in soapy water first. Always look for the easier way.

Ummm, This is DANAE, remember…

ah, memories, worked for my meals at school by bussing at my eating club. all the pots were that big and bigger.

I vote for lobsters……My girl friend says she wants to marry a lobster fisherman…..Because they go away a long time, and when they come back they bring lobster….Yeah, she’s from Jersey….

A colleague used to cook up road kill in a stock pot like that. Used to make some interesting stews with some of the gamier specimens. (Fortunately he was only interested in the bones for the osteology collection.)

awesome, thank you.

I’m with Danae, dish washing is my least favorite thing in the entire domestic world!

it was a pot before danae started on it . . .
