Allyson (and other mattress buyers), don't be too shy to bargain. You might just find the salesperson willing to knock a substantial number of bucks off to get the sale. (Another Buffista did this and got a great price on her bed.)

I want a food processor. I don't need one, I do fine with my blender and graters and so forth, but I would like one, I think. Especially one that came all apart to be dishwasher safe. Because I am lazy.

It occurs to me that I have a perfectly good but superfluous magnet -to-go-on the wall, since we bought a new one before we unpacked the old one, and just don't have that much wall space in the kitchen. If anyone needs one.

Re: Jesse's CSI white font from a long time ago: Definitely a box addressed to Grissom. That was a lot of ominous music, I hope implying another miniature. And, in keeping with the theme of this ep, they got the wrong guy...

We have a Black & Decker food processor that works well and dishwashes well. It was cheap at the time, but we've had it quite awhile.

Kalshane , so sorry , but I expect better things are on the way to you.

magnetic knifeholder for small kitchens..

1) measure side of fridge

2) cut board to that length.

3) put two strips of strong magnetic tape on both sides of board( glue and staple into place)

4) put board on fridge

5) put knives on board.

and Matt has a grinding stone that he uses to sharpen knives, chisles, and plane blades.

Oh good lord. CrazyBigBoss just lost another executive assistant. With no notice, unless you cound the rest of today. This one lasted six weeks, far outstripping the prior EA, who only made it five.

Brenda - are you working for Murphy Brown?

If you do it wrong it'll just tell you where to change things.

Got confused trying to factor in the krav job with its irregular pay. Does it mean they're my employer now? Feels weird to say either yes or no to that.

Nora - do you covet the magnetic knife holder because you lack the space for one, or are you just wanting and not yet getting?

We have one strip that we got from IKEA that one time once, but it's not robust enough to hold the knives in the position we want them. So we need to get another one, and we are just, you know, lazy and forgetting that we want it when we actually have the opportunity to lay down the mad $3 to acquire one.

We get easily distracted by shiny things or beer.

ATK has convinced me I need a garlic press, stat. I heard from one food industry friend long ago that they were of teh devil, but every time I watch ATK and they just squirt that garlic out, it makes me long for one.

Tom and I walk a AB/CI-ATK philosphical line.

Does it mean they're my employer now?

I wouldn't call them your employer. You probably have more of a freelance type job with them? No?

Ooh, Black & Decker! Good to know.

And excellent idea, beth. If I ever actually fill up the magnet I've got up, I may try the fridge mount for the 2nd one.
