The technology that links taxonomy and Star Trek

    I’m hoping that the ink is not the normal get-you-high stuff. Hopefully something non-toxic, water-based and odorless.

  • strider_mt2k

    That’s nutty!

    -with a decidedly dank overtone yet not without it’s own charm.

  • antipax

    What in the world? And this is newsworthy?

  • boyhowdy

    As a teacher of technology, I use dry-erase marker all day — on the white board, on the computer screens, even on the windows of my classroom. People are always startled (hey, you can’t DO that) when I write on stuff.

    But it seems to me that a dry-erase cheese board would be a totally useless idea. I mean, in real life the cheese never stays in exactly the same place. By the time the second or third person has a chance to use the board, odds are they’ll be befuddled, and spend time trying to figure out what kind of creature nsle ale is, and should one eat such a thing — to the detriment of attending to their host, as Martha would surely wish us to do.

    Because the taste of dry-erase markers will surely enhance any cheese.

  • Lea Hernandez

    I want to be Martha Stewart. That bitch has everything.

  • seyo

    maybe this is martha’s entry into the mollecular gastro scene. each marker is filled with its own delicious inks designed to compliment the cheeses, such as a port wine marker for stiltons, balsamic vinegar for the hard sheep and cow’s milk cheeses such as reggiano or aged gouda, herb and olive oil inks for the goat cheeses, maybe some kind of smoked maple ink for cheddars, fruit and nut flavors like fig and hazlenut, and of course the various ersatz truffle flavored inks. The possibilities are endless. They would sell by assorted packs… Ok, by writing this post everyone sees this is MY idea, copyright for ever and ever.

    Frankly, I’m thrilled that Martha has integrated her prison know-how into her product lines. Dry erase sniffing is a great way to turn that slight red wine buzz into a full-on free basing weekend.

    I can’t wait until her line of glue-sniffing oven mits drops.

  • AmphipodGirl

    If only there were some substance you could write on with a safe, natural tool that had a good, rustic looks such as might suite a cheese platter…

    Ms. Hernandez,

    #16 is damned funny.

    The ‘get-you-high” markers would be acceptable to serve with a cheese such as Limburger, whereas subtler cheeses are more suitable to the low-odor variety.

  • Miss Cellania

    Hey! Who moved my cheese?!?

  • MoreWontons

    How about a dry-erase knitted poncho, Martha?

  • sexyrobot

    damn seyo, you’re gonna be RICH!

  • Ethansr

    Yeah… I want some of that in my cheese. If you must, use the alcohol based markers with a big #2 on them. The alcohol burns your nose, not your liver (or you unborn child).

  • semiotix

    Yeah, but the dry erase cheese is really expensive. That’s how they get you.

  • devoinregress

    A lot of things work as dry erase boards. Even if that wasn’t the intention. Dry-erase bathroom tile is my favorite.

  • RandomReader

    Ummmm-um! Just thinking about warm, gooey brie with just a hint of dry-erase green mixed in…or a pungent Swiss with notes of dry-erase brown…
