Kitchens, especially professional kitchens, can be hazardous to your laptop. There was an unfortunate spill and a subsequent stressful drying-out period that involved my Powerbook and the beginnings of a maple vinaigrette. Thank goodness I hadn’t added the vinegar yet. It was just a solution of warm water, soy sauce, and salt, which, while still corrosive, was not nearly as damaging as it could have been. Everything is back up and running with no noticeable after-effects (knock on wood). Unfortunately, my laptop picks up emails for the website, and when we attempted to use Alex’s computer to pick up those emails, we somehow managed to lose them all. It’s been a week. So, if anyone sent an email to the ideasinfood address in the last 48 hours, please resend it because chances are good we never received it. Thank you!
