Title: Alembic Cutting Boards - Two Styles!
Post by: mica on December 04, 2009, 03:21:50 PM: Just in time for holiday gift giving or scroogian keep-it-for-yourselvies, two Maple cutting boards to grace your kitchen:

(http://alembic.com/club/messages/393/73587.jpg)

Each one has four 3M rubber feet attached with stainless steel screws on the underside. Coated with a food-safe oil finish. Your choice of Point or Tribute shape.

These examples are the least beautiful ones in the run, so you can be assured yours will look even nicer!

You can order in the store (http://alembic.stores.yahoo.net/mapcutboar.html) and use coupon code CB-12 to save $6. If you order more than one, we will make sure the $6 discount shows up on all cutting boards. The coupon expires on December 20, and shipments will start no later than December 14.

There's only about 30 of each of these styles available, and we don't make them every year. Enjoy!

Post by: mario_farufyno on December 09, 2009, 12:58:17 PM: Well, Hal with a chainsaw can make some Tomahawk shapes from the Series board... DIY!

Post by: toma_hawk01 on December 09, 2009, 02:04:24 PM: LOL!!!

I would rather grace my studio with the real Toma_Hawk.

Personally, I wouldn't want any Alembic cutting board, unless I had the bass to match it...

Just like, I don't want a Mercedes key charm, unless it came with the keys and the whole car too.

I am sitting here laughing big time...

Can you imagine somebody saying:

Hey everybody I have an Alembic too!

Then they would wip-out a cutting board and say: See, here it is BAM! I'll be getting the strings tomorrow...

LOL!

Post by: ajdover on December 09, 2009, 02:14:30 PM: Well, I was the first to order one (imagine that, as a professional cook and aspiring Chef) - a Tribute model. It will make my kitchen look that much better. Hell, for that matter, it will make my food taste better! ;-)

Post by: hydrargyrum on December 10, 2009, 11:05:50 AM: Can I buy three, laminate them together, and make a guitar? Becuase that would be sweet!

Post by: ajdover on December 10, 2009, 02:08:11 PM: Vegetables? What are those? ;-)

Post by: hydrargyrum on December 10, 2009, 02:58:23 PM: The simpsons have a quote for every occasion:

Lisa: Oh, the earth is the best! That's why I'm a vegetarian.
Jesse: Heh. Well, that's a start.
Lisa: Uh, well, I was thinking of going vegan.
Jesse: I'm a level 5 vegan -- I won't eat anything that casts a shadow.

I was thinking the same thing. Make a real sandwich, not the kind you eat...

Post by: adriaan on December 11, 2009, 12:19:15 AM: My wife uses hemp handcream from The Body Shop. It does wonders for her hands but it smells the same as when passing a coffee shop (you know the kind we have in our nick of the woods). It's about as bad as the smell of stale beer in a bar after closing time.
Title: Alembic Cutting Boards - Two Styles!
Post by: David Houck on December 11, 2009, 09:56:13 AM: Adriaan, it's generally considered to be really bad form to describe your spouse as smelling like stale beer in a bar after closing time.
Title: Alembic Cutting Boards - Two Styles!
Post by: adriaan on December 11, 2009, 11:28:01 AM: I was referring to the handcream --- it does wonders for her hands but it smells like ...

Bad joke, Dave - think about your karma!
Title: Alembic Cutting Boards - Two Styles!
Post by: lbpesq on December 11, 2009, 11:46:39 AM: Adriann:

How long has she had it? I well remember the Body Shop line of hemp products. It was delightful to see the large cannabis leaf in the front window of Body Shops in airports all over the country. I used the shampoo and conditioner until they discontinued the products. As I recall they had a problem with some of the products going bad after a period of time. The might explain the bad smell.
