LEO: I was watching America’s Test Kitchen on PBS last weekend and there was an impressive recipe for beef stew<\/a>. It looked so thick and hearty and the hosts gushed over it. So, yesterday I made it. I followed the recipe to the letter, and at the end, when it suggested adding gelatin as the thickener, I did. But it didn’t work. I refrigerated the whole mess and revisited it in the morning. Then I realized the gelatin DID work. I now have a beef chunk and carrot Jello mold. It’s gross. It looks like a big bowl of that chick Precious – from the movie. Now I’m out like 40 bucks and don’t want to throw it out. What to do?<\/p>\n

Dear Chef: Two things: 1) Throw it out on your neighbor’s lawn but be in a crouch when you’re doing it – in the crouch with your hands behind your back dump it. It’ll look like you just blew ass like a rhino. You will get your $40 back in entertainment value. 2) Get the fuck out of the house more often… watching PBS on a weekend afternoon?? LOSER.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
