This weekend I saw that there were too few people in the kitchen choping
things up.  So, I went in and asked in they needed any help.  The end
result/  I got a nice big sharp knife and was able to spend portions of
the afternoon chopping away at vegetables.  I found it to be a fun time,
since I was able to talk, socialize, snack (fresh veggies right there),
examine some foods I had never seen before ("what's this?" "parsnip"
"what's that?" 'daikon") and had a good time.  In short, I will have to
help out in the kitchen again, I enjoyed myself! (Give me a knife and
something to chop and I'm all set).
