I tried not to!!

I was just trying to imagine a tattooists(?) needle going off on your
tooth!! Knew it had to be stuck on somehow :-)

Is leek good in a stir-fry? I think of it as something to be cooked a
long time rather than a quick stir-fry.

Leeks are quite good in stirfry (IMHO). I'll sometimes substitute them
for green onions/scallions. They do require more prep, though.

I chatted with a woman shopping in the produce section who was about
to buy her first leek, and said she wanted to try it in salad. I
mildly advised against it, but she was unconvinced. The very bottom of
a leek is usually faily tender and could certainly be used as an
onion-ish flavoring in stir fry. However, leeks are pretty pricey, and
onions and scallions are (relatively) cheap. Also, beyond the white
base, leeks are fairly tough. Most recipes include very fine
slicing/dicing and/or longish cooking to tenderize.
