Subdeacon Joe Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Local Southern Baptist pastor Pete Harrison resigned in disgrace earlier this week after admitting that he doesn't like eating casseroles. Quote The scandal unfolded after a church congregant unearthed comments made by Harrison in a recorded sermon over 10 years ago, in which Harrison said he preferred "something healthy like a nice garden salad" to "fatty, unhealthy casseroles." Dozens of angered church members stormed Harrison's home with pitchforks and torches hastily assembled out of the church's unused front pew, demanding answers. The pastor emerged, frightened and sheepish, and made a statement. "I apologize to all those I've hurt," he mumbled as several elderly church ladies began fashioning a Molotov cocktail to throw through his window. "It's clear to me now that I'm unfit for ministry. Please accept my resignation, and for the love of all that is holy, don't hurt me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is like attacking Mormon womens' green Jell-O with shredded carrots or funeral potatoes. He's lucky to have escaped alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I thought I was the only deviant! I'm married to a Lutheran minister's daughter. Her whole family loves casseroles. I can't stand them or the idea of a "pot-luck" dinner. You'll recognize me at the voters meeting after the service. I'm the guy with the bag of take-out food sitting by myself.

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 That preacher Harrison doesn't like casseroles! Goodness!! He wouldn't even qualify to shoot in the Baptist Category.

Yul Lose Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I hate casseroles. My mom used to come up with some that were absolutely terrible and we had to sit there until we choked them down. Haven’t had any since I left home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finagler 6853 Life Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I was raised on casseroles. Mom had to figure out a way to disguise leftovers because dad didn't like leftovers. I don't mind them. I think of them like pot pies and the like. It was either casseroles or soup at our house. We ate a lot of soup too. Good thing dad traveled a lot. I got tired of meat and potatoes, meat and potatoes, meat and potatoes. My poor mother never could count on what time dad would come home from work so more often than not, the meat was cooked to the point it was unrecognizable. Pork was cooked extra well done so you wouldn't get sick from trichinosis. Old school cooking. Mom could make gravy and gravy was required. Not so much as a condiment but more as a beverage to rehydrate the meat. My wife can whip up a great casserole. Church food is always a little suspect. I make a point to have my wife point out which one she brought so I know I'll get something decent to eat. I was raised in the Lutheran church. The church ladies have written books on the many ways to make Jello. Much of it is inedible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can also dance as long as they are in the next county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 What an awful, horrible minister. Not liking casseroles? Why couldn’t he have just been a normal minister molesting his alter boys? At least then he wouldn’t have had to resign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, about 2% of the general population molest underaged. Clergy, ALL denominations and sects, it goes to about 3%. TEACHERS in the school system is over 5%. So, saying that "normal" clergy molests children is like saying "normal" cops are racists and murderers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 As an amateur chef, I have made a few casseroles, mostly so I can save ideas about how to make it better. Then is called upon, my plan is to go into hyper experimentation mode making a half dozen different tries, testing and carry the test results to the soup kitchen and saving my preferred recipe and technique for the called upon result. The one I hate the most is green bean casserole with those canned fried onions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the tater tot casserole!! I bet they had the recipes and techniques down pat. okay, having said that, the recipes typically have come down through many cooks and can be great. But the techniques suffer from lack of training. My mother always burnt the onions and she was not the only one. My grandmother left her pot roast on the stove until it was gone.

Blackwater 53393 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Lasagna is about the only casserole I'll eat. Schoolmarm makes a taco thing where she makes all of the tacos, stacks them in a casserole dish, and then bakes 'em in a cheesy sauce!! It's good, but it needs to be eaten at the first sitting or the leftovers are liable to be a little greasy. Reckon I'd never rate being a minister. I ain't into all that turmoil!!
