[info] I got the scoop for free in a bag of other stuff. I simply don’t need it. The tongs I think were marriage-acquired and not needed. The butter brush is one of two that I have. I’m not Rachel Ray and I clearly don’t need a back up brush.
I find that when I have more than one kitchen gadget of the same kind, it just perpetuates my laziness. For example, I don’t really need to wash the cheese grater because I have three more. My kitchen laziness is a problem. I craft and sewing to avoid cleaning!
