Huh. You see cozy, I see angular and spare.

I also have a TMD problem (too much daikon). In desperation, I've started using it like any other root vegetable. It's good in stir fries or diced finely in quiche. Next I think I might grate it and make fried radish patties. Think what you might use a turnip for, and use daikon.

Oh, by all that is holy, I WANT!!!

I use the tip of a vegetable peeler. Stick the tip in like a spade, perhaps twist a little if it's a stubborn berry, then pinch with your thumb and lift. Simple and waste-free.

Squirrely,
Each Girl Scout Council (kind of like a large school district) chooses exactly how to split up the proceeds, after paying the bakers. Troops receive 12-17% of the purchase price of each box sold, and the rest goes to supporting the activities of the council: providing program resources and communication support, training adult volunteers (very important!), and conducting special events (like camps, first aid trainings, etc.). The money does not leave Girl Scouts, unless, of course, the individual troop decides to spend it elsewhere.

I put the juice of one orange in with the water in the rice cooker. It was delicious with baked chicken.

I would use the French oven to make a big pot of chili.

Although my mom always called it a Dutch oven. What's with the new-and-improved name, monsieur Creuset?
