I prefer rolling dutch ovens.

While driving, lock the doors, take away window control, turn up the heat and let em rip :D

Dutch oven
n.
1. A large, heavy pot or kettle, usually of cast iron and with a tight lid, used for slow cooking.

If you've ever used one before, when you take the lid off to check what you are cooking it releases a lot of steam and aroma.

Hence the other name.

I imagine it was a Dutch oven. Dutch have been trading for a long time so they take that cast iron oven with them whereever they go.

You sleep with your mom... nice. I guess I should expect that from the ATOT crowd.

I guess I have to be the obligatory one to say:

Gee, what a coincidence; I gave your mom the same thing! We should coordinate on gifts next year.
