I don't think anyone does who doesn't have butcher block counters.

With me, it's from living so many years in rental (including military) housing. Didn't want to be charged with counter top damages when
moving out. My mom had a small butcher block counter top put in when
she had the kitchen redone in the mid 70s but every time I visited (and cooked), I still grabbed a cutting board. Her butcher block top was
right by the stove, half covered with other stuff so there was only a small working area. Also, I didn't trust the cleanliness of it, seemed like it was always sticky.

We are in total agreement with you with respect to butcher block counter
(or island) tops. There is too much temptation to use them for
cutting. So why bother installing them. We would both use a cutting
board. Gail and I disagree on what type of board though. I strongly
prefer our bamboo wood boards, she will always use some sort of hard
plastic board. There are pluses and minuses for both.

I am not a fan of alfalfa sprouts, nor sunflower seeds.
Also, I think a step was left out. Spam is a solid meat. So how does
one mix it with cream cheese, etc. I suspect they meant to pulse it in
a food processor.

Hi Dale,

I don't think anyone does who doesn't have butcher block counters.

With me, it's from living so many years in rental (including military) housing. Didn't want to be charged with counter top damages when
moving out. My mom had a small butcher block counter top put in when
she had the kitchen redone in the mid 70s but every time I visited (and cooked), I still grabbed a cutting board. Her butcher block top was
right by the stove, half covered with other stuff so there was only a small working area. Also, I didn't trust the cleanliness of it, seemed like it was always sticky.

I'll use the plastic for meats, fruits and veggies but wood for
breadstuffs. The big advantage there is that they can be put into the
dish washer for heavier duty cleaning than I can give them. I also use a separate cutting board for meats than I do for fruits and veggies, just
as a precaution against possible pathogens from the former. When you
come down for the picnic, I'll show you our collection of boards. (G)
