The tins are great for keeping all of a project's stuff together on the workbench.

77 Sunset Strip: Cookie, where is your comb?

I use half-size polycarbonate restaurant trays:

and the lids:

They're very good looking, crystal clear so you can see what's inside, and the lids snap on pretty well too.

Do they come with cookies?

That's an optional extra. In my nabe I usually get half-trays of chicken marsala or eggplant parmigiana when I have ravening hordes to feed.

Mmmm, good chicken marsala beats butter cookies. (I like to make shortbread.. just flour butter and sugar.)

The Olympics don't need to do DNA tests to find out if the atheletes are really male or female. Just put some eggplant in front of them and see if they'll eat it. Butternut squash soup would work, too.

My wife makes (literally) bucket loads of shortbread every Christmas, packages them up real purty, and gives them to all our "help" >:-}

She's also famous for her Gazpacho... which reminds of a funny story...

At one of my GenRad staff parties Naomi provided a big tureen of Gazpacho.

One employee asked her how he might get a quart of that.

She replied, "You'll need a prescription from your doctor."

About a week later, employee shows up with a _real_ prescription from his doctor for one quart of Oni's Gazpacho ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Nah, New York eggplant parm is definitely guy food. Breaded, fried crispy, served with cheese and red sauce.

Thickly sliced eggplant becomes horribly slimy, but quarter-inch or thinner slices have a pleasant flannel-like texture. Come visit sometime!

Larkin sure has some strange food ideas. Eggplant parmesan is fabulous. And butternut squash is good in just about any form. ...Jim Thompson

Nah, butternut squash soup is girl food, no doubt about it. And I have sinus problems, so slimy eggplant is _not_ on the menu. ;)

e,

me!

Some time back I got very interested in the exact nutritional content of foods. Eggplant didn't have any (except for whatever you slather on it).

Cheers, James Arthur

So it takes up the space between the breading and the red sauce and the cheese, without adding extra calories. What's not to like? ;)

Your original statement was correct... those idiots who follow that recipe, where they soak the eggplant in salted water, deserve the slime.

I quarter butternut squash lengthwise and grill it on the barby. (I also like it as a soup.) ...Jim Thompson

Mmm, Xmas cookies. Now Granma Herold (Vernie) made a few pies a day for Herolds West End Hotel, as well as other cooking, she was pro. (all way before my time.) As granma she would stash away several ~2 gallon tins of cookies during Christmas. (up in the cold attic.) We kids knew where they were and would pinch a few. There was this light fluffy sour cream sugar cookie... I wish I had the recipe.

Forgot to add, I also like spinach >:-}

At Monday's lunch I had grits and spinach as sides, to my Mahi-Mahi.

And I love Brussel sprouts and broccoli ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I heard eggplant has a high nicotene content... mixing threads.

Also good for keeping circuit boards moderately dry for assembly some months in the future. (Throw a couple dessicant packs and a humistat card in there, too.)

Did you ever find out where to get one of those red jackets?
