Ladies! You want to know what it takes to get a man to "put a ring [not pictured] on it"? Well, apparently you just have to cook the same simple meal that his teenage babysitter made for him years ago when he was a sad neglected child. It's a real monkey's paw situation, in that you get what you want but also get a very clear picture of what role exactly you play in your man's emotional life. Anyway, I'm guessing Iris is going to put off this proposal until she can track down Nancy the babysitter and defeat her in single combat.
