Hi Dale                      8/15/07 1:34 PM

B4d> [I wonder if Dave and Dale would adopt poor old Burt.]
DSac> Hey Dale, didja see this?  I'm kinda tempted. He's housebroken,
DSac> and Shirley is sweet.
 
dsh->   Sounds good.  Shall we share custody?   Do you want the first two
dsh->   weekends or the last two weekends each month?

WEEKENDS!?  That's a lot of traveling for me!  Have you no respect?


How about alternating months?   Us at home, at Dale's and the then at
Dave's?
Seems more reasonably.    

Oh, don't worry about the cost of care giving.  I could pony up a hundred
or even two hundred bucks a month, easy.

[By the way, see below the recipe]

      Title: How To Care for Your Cutting Board
 Categories: Info
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      1    -Information Cutting Board
 
  Recent scientific studies by the University Of Wisconsin-Madison, Food
  Research Institute have concluded tests which proved that bacteria die
  quickly on wood, but thrives on glass and plastic cutting boards.
  Three minutes after wooden cutting boards were coated with various
  bacteria, 99.9% of the bacteria were dead. However the same tests on
  plastic showed bacteria living and thriving, even after placed in a
  dishwasher.
  
  Care Of Cutting Board: After each use, scrub the board with detergent
  and water. DRY IMMEDIATELY! Rub a little oil such as mineral oil
  vegetable oil or sunflower oil on all surfaces and put away. Mineral
  oil works best as it has a long lasting effect which keeps boards
  from drying out. Never soak your board or put it in a dishwasher.
  **DO NOT USE** furniture oils, lemon oils, tung oil, Danish oil or
  Murphy's Oil soap as they may become rancid or tacky. To freshen a
  board, rub a citrus wedge over the surface from time to time.
  
  Storing: Store the board on edges or ends or if stored flat, turn
  several times a week. This lets board breath evenly on all sides.
  Never store your board adjacent to a heat source.
  
  New Boards: There are two enemies of wood, water (soaking) and drying
  out. If you want your boards to last years the secret is in the
  sealing of the end grain on the ends of the board and the end grain
  of juice groves.
  
  Use a small bottle of mineral oil (16 oz) and a 2" x 2" square of
  paraffin (canning wax) or beeswax, shave it into the mineral oil.
  Heat the oil and wax in a microwave for 6-8 minutes until the wax
  dissolves into the oil.  If you do not have a microwave use a double
  boiler. Never met paraffin over a burner as **PARAFFIN IS
  FLAMMABLE**. When in solution, apply to all board surfaces with hand
  or rag while warm.  Take the block of paraffin or beeswax and rub it
  into the ends and groves of your board. Repeat every six months or
  so. If you neglect your board and you notice a small crack starting
  on the end, fill crack with wax.
  
  Restoring a board: An old board can be brought back to life. Wash the
  surface and let the water remain on the surface for 15 minutes to
  raise the grain. Take a single edge razor blade and pass over board
  surface perpendicular to the board surface, scraping with the grain
  to remove raised grain. This is faster than sanding and will leave
  the board very smooth, if it is a maple board. Seal board as above.
  
  REMEMBER: A little soap and water to clean, wipe dry, oil frequently.

MMMMM
 

By the way Dale:  Notice that Bodle suggests washing with detergent after
each use!  Contrary to what a certain gentleman screamed at me about!
[KIDDING..... I don't use it on my cutting board at home]  I was just
zealously putting up a good front in your kitchen.     [g] 

Might make a good thread though, eh?
