Saturday Recipe

Had a bunch of errands to run today including picking up a couple of books in the library. As I walked to where they put the "hold" books I saw a machine and wondered what it was. On the way back I had a good look at it and realised that it was a 3D printer. I have been fascinated by 3D printers for years - this was actually pretty small though. Anyone can use it but you have to finish whatever you want to print at least half an hour before closing and you have to stay in the library whilst it is printing. I brought a sheet of instructions home with me and it seems pretty technical. I cannot imagine what I would ever  use it for but I really wish I could think of something. I have seen the most incredible things printed including copies of mummies which are too fragile to be worked on so they can use the 3D to do so.

We also had to go to the liquor store for some wine. A couple of the staff greeted me and obviously knew me. I am not sure that is a very good sign!! Same thing happened at the Mandarin last week.The hostess recognised us and took us to what she called "our table".

Campbell's do come out with some good recipes using their products. This one looked good to me.

    1. You're right Alex, but I don't know what I want to print.

  2. OMG. I haven't made anything with Campbell's soup since my boys were little. I had one of their cookbooks I used all the time. The only things I've seen made with 3D printers have been guns on TV shows.

    1. These days their soups are a lot different and with more varieties. Not allowed to make any kind of weapons on this one. I am surprised you have not seen the replicas of ancient bodies that have been found, absolutely incredible, you would think they were the originals.

  3. I'm sure we've worn a hole in the carpet at our liquor store! I bet you get tip top service at the Mandarin being such regulars.

    1. Well it's buffet style Pinky so no, not really any difference. I was surprised that the hostess recognised us because I didn't recognise her.
