I'd be mad too if police took my good pan in for evidence.

That's a "you go girl" moment if I've ever heard of one. That's super cool that he's sending her a whole new set though. And I gotta say, I love actual evidence that my claim of my cast iron/any heavy kitchen stuff doubling as weapons/home security.

I've often joked that my cast iron pan could double as a weapon. Way to go miss lady!
My mother in law heard a story a year or two a go about a woman who threatened an intruder with a Racheal Ray knife

Just read that Emeril replaced her pot with a brand new set. Good for her and him.

I once brought home a few copper pans from Paris. I removed them from my checked luggage because I wanted to go to the detax window. I realized I should have done this first, because then I was stuck with the pans and would have to carry them on board,and I was worried they wouldn't let me. I went through security with three copper pans. No one blinked. Meanwhile they were confiscating nail clippers and scrutinizing shampoo bottles. Made me laugh to myself about how dumb the security theater is. I could have brained the whole flight crew with one of those Mauviels. Needless to say, if I ever bring heavy cookware with me on a plane again, they are going into my bags. I don't want to risk one of the security goons miraculously having a lucid thought and taking my pans away...

i'm sorrry i can't find the link to the video i saw about this earlier (The lady telling the story to the local paper) but the best line in it was " I hauled back and hit him in the head with it. He turned and looked at me like "why did you do that, lady?", so....I hit him again."

Where are the "bam!" references, anyone?

The headline on this post is kind of disturbing, but maybe that's just the way my mind is working today.

Yeah, I expected a completely different story, judging by the headline.

I read this and got a good laugh and a sense of the good guy winning. You can see her interview video on my blog.
