FYI: Knock off Maples

To our dear Maple & Maple Mini users,

It has come to our attention that "LeafLabs Maple Minis" are being sold on AliExpress. Please be aware that although they say "LeafLabs" on them, they are not made by LeafLabs.  The Maple line was discontinued in March 2015.   That said, the forum is still going strong and the designs are available on Upverter.  

Yours truly,

LeafLabs

At Shiso Kitchen we learned a trick for separating yolks: dump the egg in your hand and strain the whites through your fingers. It was very messy and very amusing.
