This's and That's for Lite Wednesday

Okay, all you home cooks, we're saved again by technology. Here's a scenario we've all been in many times: You're kneading that dough, or removing bones from a chicken, or trussing that pork tenderloin, and both hands are covered in sticky flour/chicken goo/pork fat (which rules). Lets clean up. Oops! Turning on the water is problematical without transferring the flour/etc., to the handle. Ever tried the elbow trick? Worry no more. Those clever engineers at Delta Faucet have saved us! They've developed the "touch faucet" that all you have to do is put your forearm on the faucet and it starts!! What a great idea (price not mentioned)!. Check it out.

And, although I've roundly castigated Julie and Julia (okay, without seeing it), it has had one good effect. Julia Child's landmark book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" has risen (once again) to the top of the best seller list! Anything that raises the desire to cook (correctly) is a good thing.

And, no, eagle eyed readers, I don't know why Bok Choy is under Hispanic Famorites in the supermarket..

and, lastly a bumper sticker seen in The Park:

"Envision Using Your Turn Signal"
