There's a lot to be said for the Indian (and other countries) practice of using _one_ (the left) hand for "personal" contact and the _other_ for contact with food. Of course the basis there is to protect your food from your bugs, but it works just as well at protecting your bug from your food. [end] YK Jim ... Good chili will make you sweat. Every time.
