Of course music and food go together! As a (once) living illustration of that, my Dad had two major categories of things at his small house that I had to sort through after he died: tons of music stuff (instruments, tools, recording and playing devices, music, books, and just general gadgets) and TONS of pots and bowls and kitchen gadgets. He seems to have cooked up a storm (or have been prepared to) before hoots and Song Circle up at his house.

After reading about Rick's lard accident, I wonder if a thread of basic cooking facts and No-No's might be started, by way of anticipating and avoiding accidents. ;-)
