The next time a group of would be house robbers decide to go looting someone’s home, they will think twice when reading about Ellen Basinski of the suburban Cleveland community of Elyria, Ohio. Mrs. Basinski was on the phone with her husband, Judge David Basinski, when a group of four young men entered her home and started by emptying the contents of her purse. Mrs. Basinski sprang into overdrive and grabbed her Emeril Lagasse saucepan and whacked one of the the boys with it. Hilariously, the perpetrator stared in stunned disbelief and asked, “What did you do that for?’ The 70 year-old whacked him again. You can read the full details of the not so frail woman by following the link. By the way, the chef has personally guaranteed Mrs. Basinski that he would replace the saucepan and probably cook her a special meal besides.
Let’s hear it for the Senior with the Saucepan! It gives me images of Granny with Sylvester the cat.
I just thought I might need some of those sauce pans, but in further reading it sounds like the pan needed to be replaced.
For good pan weaponry, I would suggest a good cast iron skillet. I think that may have taken out the thief in on swing.
