Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: cutting boards, where to get colors

[Lynn Nadeau (welcome]

I was thinking to myself, the kind of cutting board I find so useful 
would also be useful in a common house. It's really thin and flexible-- 
you can roll it into a sort of cone to dump stuff off of it, like into a 
pot. Lightweight, but sturdy enough to protect a counter, stores in 
almost no space. Easy-wash plastic. It seemed trivial to post, though.  
But then..... 

Then I pick up a catalogue I've never seen before, and there they are, 
but in COLORS like folks have been talking about. Red =meat, 
yellow=poultry, blue=fish, green=veggies. You could go to a local store 
and pick up a white one, too, for general purposes, or whatever you 
choose. 

Mats are 11.5"x15", four mats, one of each color. 
Practica catalogue, www.practica.com  1-800-825-9817

"Four Chopping Mats  #G20220     $9.95"

I've seen the white ones in many sizes, including a really big one. 
I think the colors are cool, even if you use them all for the same stuff!
