Meet the Salad Shooter! It's also a mixer! This was the #1 Bad Holiday Gift 10 years ago. We've been limping along with this sorry excuse for a mixer ever since.L is in a bidding war on Ebay with some equally stubborn woman from Iowa. They've both discovered an amazing kitchen appliance they cannot live without. Pride has long since overtaken reason and while this has been hugely entertaining ~ it could get ugly pretty fast.
This is why I love the holidays! We're all hell-bent on doing everything perfectly. And, L needs a few great gadgets in order to accomplish her goals.
After all, growing up in a household where Mom believes a Salad Shooter can rival the abilities of Cuisinart? Well, no wonder she's all screwed up!
Har. We *love* our Salad Shooter. When it dies the death, like our last, we will move heaven and earth to find another.
ReplyDeleteSo what gadget is it that your lovely offspring lusts after? Nosy minds want to know...
ReplyDeleteI understand about trusty old appliances. My Harvest Gold GE hand mixer is, I think, early 70's vintage. Misguided people keep giving me new ones which I keep passing along to the Assistance League (still in the original box.)
Your a good Mom. Easy to tell just by reading your blog
