Unnecessary Kitchen Gadgets
I got a package from Amazon today. It included
1) A strawberry de-husker
2) A strawberry slicer
3) An egg ring
I don't feel I need to explain the first two. Look at this:

And people on Amazon said these two items were superfluous! What!
I couldn't help it. I love strawberries, and really, isn't it just such a hassle to cut the tops off and slice them with a normal knife? It's certainly NOT like getting to stab the strawberry with spikes and twist its head off, then squeezing it through some kind of medieval death contraption to slice it into tiny little slivers.
This all started because when I was making breakfast last weekend, Michael asked for a sunny-side up egg. I don't know how to make sunny-side up eggs (scrambled is the sole selection in my repertoire), so we had to look it up. I managed it -- don't worry -- but it seemed like there should be something you could buy to keep the egg in a nice round shape so it doesn't get all thin and spread out. There is, of course. We live in America. And I bought it.
So now I'm the proud owner of three new kitchen gadgets that weren't completely necessary. But how do you put a price on pretty strawberries and perfectly round eggs? You can't.
Just kidding. It's something like $13.26.
