To show my love I am thinking of giving my wife a DUTCH OVEN tonight
She is always surprised and the overflowing emotions on her face when I give her one makes it all worthwhile.

Now I need suggestions on what to have for dinner.

1. I know what you should have for dessert...
...peach cobbler...

Dutch ovens are perfect for cobbler.

You romantic devil, you.

2. But the question is:Are cobblers perfect for DUTCH OVENS?
You have no idea how much this is cracking me up.

10. OKAY I WANT EVERYONE TO REREAD THE ORIGINAL POST
Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 03:57 PM by underpants
This must be a colloquial thing. The "Dutch Oven" I referring to is not a cooking tool (and it is isn't a sexual thing either)

Hasn't anyone here heard of a "Dutch Oven" before?

I think some of you have and are joking too.

Misspelled OKAY

15. A Dutch Oven is:
When you wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning and you have to fart/pass gas/break wind...... you very quietly pull the covers over her head and let 'er rip.

It usually takes about 10-15 seconds for it to waft up into her nostrils and then the fun begins. The kicking and the yelling and the thrashing about.

Fun for the whole family.

26. No kids often are right there at eye level
Teaches them to keep their wits about them and their eyes open.

12. But a Dutch oven is a pot with metal handles and a metal lid that you can
Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 04:17 PM by JVS
put in the oven or in the coals of a fire. It is a cooking tool.

Are you trying to say "Cleveland Steamer"? That is most certainly not a cooking tool.

22. Ok I'm a stupid fuck!
I've never heard it referred to as that :shrug: but I have given out quite a few in my time (in spite of the fact that those who fart are now thinking I hold discriminatory views of them...I shoulda thought of that first, eh?)

Dutch oven - a term describing when you fart and hold your partners head under the covers

16. I'm a bit rusty on this,
but wouldn't a dutch oven be more easily delivered well after dinner (especially Mexican food!), and more towards bedtime, for the proper atmosphere?

30. Mexican or
cajun. A little red beans & rice will stoke the old oven nicely.

27. Underpants, I'm sending a trend here...
Between the Dutch oven posts, and the worst tasting food post that is still active -

You seem to be a - trying to tread lightly here - "methane-enhanced" type of a person, no?

Or did I miss something?

:shrug: :puffpiece:

P.S. Gives new meaning to the "puff piece" icon, huh?

29. Know what's funny?
I didn't even know that a Dutch Oven was an actual cooking device--the only definition I know is the farty one. :) And, of course, even if I HAD known about a Dutch Oven, I would have assumed, it being you, that you were referring to the farty one.

31. That's all I could ask
I thought those things were just called "the big cookin' pot"

You live and learn.
