Sounds great! If I win a pair of tickets I’ll definitely go. Otherwise, I’m torn between this play and the Monday night festivities at The Drake.

Are you aware that Lee Valley Tools has a side-company that does surgical tools – because a woodworking doctor was taking the wood-working tools into the operating room? seems that woodworking tool development is more advanced than scalpels – and yet they do the same thing. Using an ‘olfa’ blade for food makes sense to me, just worry about how to clean the sucker afterward…..

BTW, have you seen the technique with a potato – you scrub it, half it, and then place a half flat side down on your board. put a square chopstick on either side of the potato, and slice down to make a hedghog – a series of 1/4 inch slices. sprinkle oil and salt, place on a baking tray ( I suggest parchment paper, cleanup is easier) and bake until crunchy. mmm. the chopstix keep the knife from slicing all the way through..

we have an oxo too, and it is great. I don’t use enough, but this post (which was referenced elsewhere) reminds me we have a whole swack of onions (like the remainder of 50 pounds) downstairs. time to dry. I was cackling too, Joel, when I was making home-made shakin-chikin stuff that called for powderd onion and garlic. pulled out our home dried and ran them through the coffee -er- spice mill, presto! and since the mill was out I also ground up the sage and oregano and filled up the onion powder jar for the spice cupboard. they grind down even smaller than they dry-down to!

I’ve always saved the seeds of my best backyard plants. It should be a legal and protected right, not a practice that can be prohibited and penalized because a corporation has managed to argue that it can own a patent on living organisms.

Hope I get a chance see the show and also meet you guys.

Combining 2 of my passions: food and theatre (and politics on top of it)! Sounds great!

I would love to go to this! Sounds like a very interesting/innovative theatre experience. There’s a lot that angers me in the business of food, but nothing more than Monsanto vs. farmers…
