As most of you are aware, Front Street managed to dodge the flood bullet last weekend. We had to reschedule a class (seats are still available - see below) and ended up with about 6" of water in the basement. That was the bad news. 
The plus side is that I managed to finally clean out the basement and garage in the two days before the Ohio crested. The house cleaning was long overdue, I just wish the circumstances were a little different, but that's life on the river.
We just received our first shipment of Bambu cork bowls and cutting boards. Cork is as green a resource as you'll ever find. The most interesting product in the group is a flexible cork basket with a roll-able edge that you can clean by tossing in the washing machine!
