I had arrived home one evening after working late to find serving platters, with Sterno heaters ,residing on my work bench in the man cave (as I was late for the holiday festivities). It was at this point I had the realization what had to be done....

. In the following days my loving Wife explained to me how things become inadvertently locked and the pros and cons of such hasty decisions... I guess a crock pot and hoppes #9 aren't that bad after all..
