I get catalogs. Lots of catalogs. Order once and you are inundated with catalogs from companies you have never heard of. And, with a few notable exceptions, they all basically sell the same things.
I’m not disparaging the items – well not all of them. But I wonder where would one store all this stuff. This week one of my catalogs offered the following items:
Green Bags – for every type of fruit and veggie that you can imagine. Maybe I’ll just eat what I buy.
Melon Slicer – cores and cuts melons. Oh, I thought that’s what knives were for.
Corn Cob Stripper – always just used my teeth before seeing this.
Divided Deli Keeper – keep cheese and meat apart. Won’t have to deal with those package zippers.
Thin Apple Slicer – for thin apples or thin slices? I wasn’t sure.
Rotary Nut Chopper – wow, you can measure them as you chop. Room in the cabinet?
More ‘Keepers’ – keep bananas, flour, sugar, brown sugar, cookies, frozen waffles, crackers, etc.
Grease Keeper (see above)
Small Nutcracker – this time I’m pretty sure it’s for small nuts. Pistachios and peanuts were noted.
Ice Genie – new way to make cute ice cubes. Wonder if it has a bell as reminder to re-fill.
Decorating Bulb – to decorate the tiny cakes you make with the – – –
Mini-Tiered Cake Mold – three tiered cake about 4 inches tall – cute.
Poach Pod – easy way to poach eggs.
Stainless Steel Divided Plate – looks like something I saw on M.A.S.H. or Orange is the New Black.
Powdered Sugar Shaker – looks a lot like a coffee mug with a tiny strainer over it, but what do I know.
To be continued… The items listed above were in the first half of one of the catalogs. I’m can’t continue now. I might truly be tempted to add on to my kitchen. But, more kitchen aids coming soon from a catalog near me (or maybe you).
Then, in the future I’ll have other observations, e.g. drivers, recipes, bicyclists, playgrounds … oh, my list is endless. B
