So, what ... are you going to move from place to place, city to city, state to state and haul around all them "fringe" appliances thinkin' YEH some day I am gonna make me some waffles on this waffle-iron my dear Auntie Myrtle gave me five Christmases ago and I used once? I AM going to get a bunch of carrots, celery, radishes, cilantro and what and use this JUICER I bought a fuckin' million years ago and used for a week? I, for one, am NOT going to move again and bring along them things if I don't be usin' them. So ... junk them? eBay? Craigslist? I got an idea! USE THEM! Justify their presence in yr home. Make it worth finding a box for them next time you call the moving co. to haul yr shit to yr new digs.

I was under the kitchen sink counting spiders the other day and spied my espresso machine. I thought, well shee-it. When's the last time I enjoyed a deluxe coffee at home? Took it out, cleaned it up, got some Peet's 'spresso and voila! RIGHT NOW I'm working on #3 homemade Americano. This weekend I'm gonna fire-up the Breadmaker. Last night I used the mixer and made some cookies. I challenge every one of you lovely List Members: Dust off that rarely-used appliance and use it. Fire me an email and lemme know what you cooked, juiced, fried, grilled, steamed or whatever. A prize will be awarded for the most esoteric submission. I alone will be the Judge. Bribes, as always, will be accepted.

Submit your cookery here.

Though I wouldn't suggest leaving one's house on a dark and stormy night such as this, if you are so inclined, come on out for a Dark & Stormy!!

Tonight - Lone Palm.  SF's coziest inclement weather bar.

Great turnout last week. If you missed it, you suck!

bye-ee!

whrr ... clik!
