I'm thinking of starting a new blog for the recipes I come up with...that way, I'll have a record of successes (and failures), and I'll be able to view the recipes at any time.  Bonus if anyone else finds the journal and wants to make stuff.  Extra bonus if people give suggestions for recipes ( Read more... )

Oh, Jonathan, so much to learn!

It comes from an early Treehouse of Horror episode (the annual Halloween show that's always divided into three vignettes). It's called Hungry are the Damned. Here's a more concise explanation than I could provide:

The Simpsons are abducted by extraterrestrial life forms. The aliens introduce themselves as Kang and Kodos, and tell the Simpsons that they are taking them to their home planet. En route they present the family with enormous amounts of food and watch eagerly as they gorge themselves. Lisa is suspicious, so she sneaks into the kitchen where she finds a book called How To Cook Humans. She takes the book and confronts the aliens with it. They inform her that part of the title was obscured by space dust, which they blow away to reveal the title How To Cook For Humans. Lisa, skeptical at this, blows off more space dust, revealing the title to be How To Cook Forty Humans. The aliens blow off the last of the space dust, finally revealing the real title How To Cook For Forty Humans, allegedly proving that the aliens were trying to treat the humans well. Enraged at Lisa's distrust, they return the Simpsons to Earth, but not before rubbing in how she ruined their chance of paradise on the aliens' home planet. This episode parodies "To Serve Man", an episode of The Twilight Zone.

I couldn't find this on YouTube, sadly. But yay for Wikipedia!

Okay, I've DEFINITELY seen that one, but I can't remember if it was pre or post seeing the AGO cookbook. Either way, I didn't get the reference.
