So Ed, was the use of "Striate" intentional or did you totally mistype "Straight"? If it was intentional, it's one really good obscure joke. And if it was unintentional, it was one really fitting Freudian kinda slip....
And all this talk of kitchens is killing me. At least I'm not the only guy that pays attention to that room. It's sad that SS is so hard to maintain. Because I've always wanted an industrial looking kitchen. Viking range. SS ovens (2) set in the wall. SS side-by-side fridge. I am even planning on SS appliances to match. It's either that or a retro 50's diner look in black and white tile....
