So, my mother likes to cook. She likes to try new recipes, stuff she hears about watching Food Network and other such sources. So a few minutes ago, she asked me to search the Web for a recipe for Palermo potatoes (she's not very good with computers). I searched FoodNetwork.com; I found nothing. I searched Recipes.com, and again came up with nothing. Finally I figured, "If Google can't find it, nothing can." So I type "Palermo potatoes," quotes included, into the search bar.

I got five pages of results, none of which possessed a recipe. Google was officially stumped.

Has anyone else here pulled this off?

And if you share a recipe for Palermo potatoes, you get a cookie.

I found this, " Palermo potatoes, which are potatoes braised with onions, tomatoes, and a few peas, a vegetable, which is usually swiss chard (adorned with a little olive oil and garlic) or carrots, and rolls."

As long as she knows how to braise potatoes, I don't see a huge problem.

Where did she hear it? Most programs host their recipes on the internet.

Swallow your sugar pills, inject your saline, breath in some hydroxide mist and have a nice day.

It's probably because Palermo potatoes are already a recipe/side. It's not like they're a type of potato.

looking good and dressing well is a necessity. having a purpose in life is not.

Anyway, so my family is Italian and my mom used to make a similar dish called Potato Gatto.

That's because you're searching for all links with London in them and then excluding all links with London in them.

I was searching Google for a recipe for cupcakes.

The search came back with "How do you know if you're gay."

That's probally the most believeable thing I've ever heard.

No sarcasm, seriously I could expect Google to be stupid enough to do that!

If your reading this, then why do you care?

You didn't stump google, google simply searches he internet.

If it found nothing, then, my friend, you stumped the internet.

I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they would greet me with cries of hate.

No seriously, google is unable to find a definition or anything.

Be more sane.

Seriously, I have no idea what you said, are you insulting me or is that a chat up line? You broke my brain.
