By what reckoning is Cobleskill considered "outside Schenectady"- it's a 40 minute drive minimum. That's like saying Saratoga is outside Albany.

Thanks for the link love as always. I'm a little flattered at the pseudocomparison to Alton Brown. Now, I don't really know that hacksaw blades are food-grade but then again, nobody likes a pinkie in their pumpkin pie. At least nobody I know.

Thanks for the link, Mary & Greg. (We're looking for a squirrel costume for Bandit for next year.)
