I'm browsing the Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails which is interesting me in Creme de cacao & creme de menthe and more bad ideas

JOHN HOPPIN: Shep, washep, wushep, Oh yeah. Everything is good now. Pretty much, seems like it. Kind of hot. Yeah. I'm listening to the Liz Allbee I'm listening to this Liz Allbee CD. Came out last year on Relative Pitch Records and it's called Rille, R I L L E. For Jeremy. This is dedicated to Jeremy recorded at Vivaldisaal, Berlin. Mixed in Berlin mastered by Weasel Walter.

What's up, Weasel Walter? Man, cool. I got that CD in December. Weasel Walter, Jarrett Mitchell introduced me to Weasel Walter, Jarrett Mitchell, my partner in consumer packaged goods. He makes the beverage green coffee, energy beverage, Cobra Verde. It's something called Paleo V.erde, you got to check it out. Jarrett is the thing. Speaking of the thing, let's hear the jingle:

Hoppin Hot Sauce, it's the best sauce in the world. The world, I'm telling you!

The jingle is the thingle.

We should get down to business, right? This is the What's the Matter With Me podcast, thank you for tuning in. My name is John, I'm very old, I have children and a wife. And this is What's the Matter With Me? I have multiple sclerosis and that figures into it too, I guess. You'll see. Shoutouts to everyone.

Also shoutouts to someone or something, someone or something downloaded all the episodes of What's the Matter With Me. No, not all of them. Just like 111 of them using wget, that's like a Linux command, that's advanced nerdy stuff. It's beyond me. I feel like someone or something, it just says on my thing, it was all downloaded by wget. I'm like, "Show yourself, show yourself!" Or don't, it's probably a double edged sword to ask the internet to show itself. You're like, do you really want to see? I got knorks. I got knorks!

I read the Wirecutter. I just happened to read it about accessibility. Let me get that. I read this article. It was published January 5th of this year, the headline, A One-Handed Cook's Favorite Kitchen Tools. So I was like, hmm. And written by this woman, Britt H. Young, she's a writer and PhD candidate in geography at UC Berkeley. So disabled writer, I'm like cool.

And a lot of subject matter here that I'm interested in. You know, I'm always thinking about being a disabled cook. This woman, Britt H. Young was born without a hand. And so she's kind of in my boat, she's got one hand and she's a one handed cook. I'm interested in this. I've read it, and a lot of the stuff I already had, but the one thing I have been interested to learn about, one-handed utensil, where I can cut up my own piece of chicken. A one-handed utensil where I can cut up my own piece of chicken or sausage or whatever.

So she mentions this thing called a knork, and the caption on the image is just like…it's a fork, with kind of rounded…it looks like a fork. And it says, "The knork has slim, knife-like edges and a little platform on the neck where your finger can rest making it easier to cut up food on your plate with one hand."

So I was like, cool, I want this. I'm tired of Nami cutting up my food. I don't really, I stopped kind of caring about it. It's something I gave away. I was like, whatever, but I also, she has to cut up the kids' food. It's like, dude, how much food can you cut up? So I'm looking for ways to do it myself. And it helps that we've been having meatloaf and sausages, easy to cut up.

So it is kind of like…it's a fork that's thin, it's not sharp. The edges are pretty thin. So, you can kind of smash the hell out of things. So it's really, it doesn't achieve cutting.
