Hopefully!  I know I didnt spend that much on it.  That used units are
selling on ebay for 300$ or more shows that we all love it ;-)  The 2
drawbacks are you can not stuff a bird, and the bottom pan rusted out, but
the top crock more than makes up for this in actual use.

No!  Must have been buried under other stuff at the time or I would have used
it.  As it is, I was thinking fondly of my sink unit all the time as I
chopped or washed veggies or cleared out the regular drain you had there.

As far as i can tell, it would fit every sink you have.

I can relate to that aspect.  We almost never get pre-chopped. Then again,
squid was the cheapest meat in Japan so the folks here were used to
occasional 'send me every recipe you got as am looking for something new to
do with it'.

(Cash=pup in the meantime has laid claim to the sofa in the sunroom.  Curled
up and snoozing, Daisy is on a pillow above him surveying the new room
changes).

A funky looking mushroom, a bit like a cauliflour in shape but about 1/2 the
size.  A deep shroomy-earthy taste.

Heard tell it came out that later part of the night after I left!  Hope it
was a good one!
