I had reward points to use, so got a Presto Salad Shooter. It arrived yesterday, but haven't used it yet. I can't wait to shred some cheese without aggravating my joints.

 

It works really well.

Now you need the companion Jerky Shooter.  While you're at it, order a 2-gun Western rig from El Paso Saddlery and you're all set.

I bought myself a Geedel rotary grater, it suctions onto the counter top and has been a life saver for my poor wrists. I also have a Vidalia chop wizard. Between those two items, I have been able to stop avoiding recipes that involve a lot of chopping or grating. I don't know how to do a "friendly Amazon link" but I recently got a couple of little silicone grid contraptions that fit onto the grid of my Vidalia chopper. They make clean-up even easier.

Unless I got rid of it, I have a chopper thing that looks like that, though may be a different brand. I've never used it and have had it for probably at least 10 years. I'll look around to see if it still lives here.

Helping out here, a bit. Incidentally, there's a help article on inserting links -- including Amazon links -- here.

We have one at home and one in the Princessmobile. I rarely use it, but my darling uses it all the time for chopping onions as well as potatoes. A couple of years ago we figured out that if he diced onions, then potatoes, for his beloved hash that the potatoes essentially cleaned the grids. In both vegetable cases you have to slice the vegetable into rounds first (with a knife) but he finds it quite quick and convenient.

Now I want one for the shower...

 

I have a shower mat arriving today to put under the new refrigerator.  The refrigerator door gets stuck on the bedroom rug.  But be careful.  When I've done cooking in the bathroom it trips the circuit breaker.

What a fun packed life I live! Today I bought a new  wok brush.

The Present

 

Its handle is a different shape from the ones I've being buying for decades! I'd better go lie down before I  get over-excited.
