The FP makes quick work of shredding potatoes for latkes. I prefer mine without knuckle blood

I resort to the kevlar glove I use with both mandoline and box grater. Yeah, pink hash browns just aren’t right.

Generally sound advice, but I once bought Mrs. ricepad a shop-vac for her birthday and she LOVED it. It was the only thing she said she wanted. Co-workers insisted that it was a trap and I should get her something else, but opening that shop-vac got her really excited. Of course, Mrs. ricepad is definitely different from most peeps.

Our Carolina Dog, Canela, believes that shedding is a full time job. I would be delighted if my husband bought me a high end robot vacuum.

It’s still not cheap.
If she told you she wanted it, then its gold.
As someone who received a Dustbuster for a milestone birthday…if she didnt ask for it, it fucking sucks.

In my youth, I gave a girlfriend an alternator for her car (birthday). I included a note that I would install it (also part of her birthday gift). Her car needed a new alternator, so I thought this was a great gift.
She was FURIOUS!! She stood up and shot-putted it at me. For the record, alternators are heavy!! The bruise took weeks to heal.
Lesson Learned!

My tie rod end broke on my bug, the guy I was dating was not only a handy type, but glad to work on a different VW ( he had a wabbit). I made him a scampi dinner and I’m still cooking for my roomate of 37 years. He still works on my car.

I really dislike chopping onions (love eating them!) … I usually place into fridge for an hour first, cuts down on tears. I bought a vegetable chopper (looked it up … going strong since 2016!) Surfas but no longer available from Amazon … there are many others on the site, here’s one:
Makes onion prep so much easier and not hard to clean. (Some onion bits stay stuck on the sharp blades but no biggie, will flake off when dry.)
