- I might have to try that! I bought a new crock pot last weekend. - ReluctantCynic Feb 28, 18:41 6
  - Here's the recipe - mara Feb 28, 18:52 5
    - Oh my ... that sounds ... lovely. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 28, 19:46
    - You should end up with a cake about an inch thick with a creamy layer of chocolate pudding beneath it. -- nm - mara Feb 28, 19:03 2
      - so do you invert it onto a serving dish after cooking? -- nm - prayformojo Feb 28, 19:05 1
        
        No, we just dish it out of the crockpot directly onto plates or rather into bowls. -- nm - mara Feb 28, 19:06
    - cool! -- nm - prayformojo Feb 28, 19:01

Matt Cassel for a 2nd round draft pick? Cassel's getting sold up the river. -- nm - Mop Feb 28, 18:06 6
- I didn't understand that news. I thought that with the franchise tag they had to give up 2 first round picks to get him. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 28, 18:09 5
  - To sign him outright. Trades can be for whatever the teams decide. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 19:49
  - That's what I thought. Was it because they traded him for the 2nd-round pick instead of Kansas City signing him on their own? -- nm - Jelly Feb 28, 18:16 3
    - Right. Teams can negotiate whatever compensation they like after the franchise tag is applied. - David Feb 28, 18:19 2

  - The loony left.... - Stephen Feb 28, 18:41 12
    - The fact that he's giving the keynote at the CPAC is not a good sign for the GOP. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 28, 18:44 10
      - Perhaps not, but he neither called for a literal overthrow of the government nor is the GOP a terrorist organization. - Stephen Feb 28, 19:00 9
        
        He's been screaming about "taking back our country" and "overthrowing the idiot liberal government" for the last 2 years. - Trish Feb 28, 21:13
