First of all, thank you to . I've never
had the impetus to learn about kill files, but your juvenile
antics helped me overcome that barrier. Have a nice life.

For the overwhelming helpful responses, they are very much
appreciated. I will look into mineral oil as an alternative
to peanut oil for preserving my chopping board, and have a
better idea of how to apply it. Thank you.
