Sorry I Ate the West Coast Part Two (or, How To Make a Man Bag)

I must confess that going to the Tomahawk wasn't my idea. Louis, a good friend and a man often described as a "foodie", sent me an email that in effect said, "Hey, if you are going to Vancouver you've got to check out this restaurant that was on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives".
Now according to the Urban Dictionary a "foodie" is,
"A person that spends a keen amount of attention and energy on knowing the ingredients of food, the proper preparation of food, and finds great enjoyment in top-notch ingredients and exemplary preparation" Yup that would be him. That would make me just a simple "cookie" and an enthusiastic but uninformed "eatie".
 Louis is also a man who doesn't like things to go to waste. He volunteers at a thrift type store and has a giant shed full of stuff that often gets recycled in creative science projects for kids. He has also just had his 65th birthday.
 So in Louis' honour my wife, Jan, and I present a recipe:


"How to Make a Man Bag"
Ingredients
2 Tomahawk diner placemats

2 Tomahawk diner headbands

1 stapler

25 staples

Method
Staple the sides of the 2 placemats together with 3 staples per side.


Staple the bottoms of the 2 placemats together with 11 staples.

To add handles, staple a headband to each side of the openings at one end.  Use 2 staples per headband end.

Repeat on the other end of the bag opening.


Optional Ingredient
Fold in 1 Tomahawk diner rubber duckie.














Garnish with yellow tissue.

Let set overnight, then serve to your unsuspecting friend.
