If he had given you a ricer instead, would that be sweet enough?

you know, I used to get mom (and other members in the family) stuff that I thought would make their lives easier, but ended up criticizing me instead without a single “thank you” note. Now, decided not to sweat it (and of course I’m the bad guy coz i care about nothing) shrug

We just use the electric mixer.

We got a ricer. Quickest creamiest masked potatoes ever.

It would if you had watched Captain Kangaroo as a kid growing up.

There’s a sweetness there, even though potato mashers are like what, $5?

I have mixed feelings on this one. I say just thank Dan, put it in a drawer and mash the potatoes any way you want to.

Ricers are good but messy.

LOL!! I used to use my hand blender to mash potatoes. And egg separator? Really??

While I agree it’s not a good idea to buy People appliances and cooking tools to early in a relationship, I think it depends on where you are in that relationship.

Once the bloom is off the rose so to speak, getting real about what would make his or her life easier should be considered. I’ve known men who enjoy getting tools as gifts, why not kitchen stuff that makes their life easier?

It’s the latest. It’s the greatest. Mashed Potato (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah). Sung by Dee Dee Sharp

Eggs come packaged in their own separating tool.

I needed a banana masher for when I make muffins; I just bent a fork. Whatever works . . .

One needs to be thankful for the little things our families do for us. It brings a measure of peace and civility in our lives.
