A toe hold

In what the media is comparing to the US troop surge in Iraq, 50% of one cook
was redeployed to the kitchen green zone at our house last night. Specially
trained in techniques such as moving one thing at a time around in the left hand while moving into combat on a single crutch in the right, US forces were able to prepare a sausage with balsamic reduction pasta sauce from scratch, while other units focused on dog walks and on moving heavy weapons such as pots of boiling water.
