Take one can sardines (preferably in oil), drench with tabasco and freshly ground black pepper. Apply spoon, eat straight out of can. Rinse. Repeat. Optional accompaniment: Any Simpson/Bruckheimer movie (or, for that matter, anything starring Meg Ryan) and large collection of throwable [soft] projectiles.

Greetings all, I'm joining this thread a little late in the process, but would like to thank those members who mentioned the blower issue earlier (ie "poodles flying"). We're in the middle of our own kitchen renovation and are eagerly awaiting the installation of a Thermador range - total operating nastiness of 78,000BTU's. Our blower is rated at 1,000cpm and, since checking, we've discovered that this may be a problem in our tightly insulated house (smoke reversing down chimneys, small furry creatures taking flight, etc. ...). We've started looking at options to regulate the air pressure in the house while it's running (other than cracking a window). There are three cats in the house and - while I'm tempted by the comic potential - I believe the local humane society is very specific on their status as flyers. Thanks again!
