Hey Everyone,
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, messages will be flashing across my phone screen, or I'll be scrolling through posts, trying to catch up, but my head can't quite keep up the pace.
At best, I'm able to catch part of a message in a way that makes sense.
But then other times... My brain likes to make up its own interpretation, and there's no telling what will come from that!
Such was the case yesterday when I was trying to catch up on threads, and instead of "The Gift of Tongues" (which is something perpetually debated about in the forums,) my brain read it instead as, "The Gift of TONGS."
Needless to say, I had a hearty laugh at my own ineptitude.
And so I thought this might be a fun question to ask...
1. Have YOU been bestowed with the Gift of Tongs?
2. If so, what do you use them for?
I use mine for all kinds of various kitchen tasks, including fishing out spaghetti from a frying pan (thanks to a YouTube gimmick where you boil the water in a frying pan, which is super easy and much faster when cooking for one.) The tongs then save me from having to try to carry a frying pan full of boiling water to the sink.
I recently bought a silicone-tipped pair to use in my air fryer, but unfortunately, they don't them to be nearly as "grippy" or useful.
3. What are some of your other favorite kitchen implements, and why are they your favorites?
My current favorite kitchen tool is a combination spatula/spoon -- it doesn't stick to anything, it's just the right size for stirring, and easily scoops or scrapes things out of most any pot or pan.
This isn't the exact one I have, as they don't seem to make my exact model anymore (story of my life!), and finding a replacement has been a challenge (all the others I've found are too flimsy to stir with, don't have a deep enough scoop, etc.)
But the hunt will go on!
How about you?
Tell us about your own experience with The Gift of Tongs (and do you have other uses for them other than the kitchen?)
If not, tell us about some of the other small tools and gadgets you find handy and why -- because I'm sure their uses are open to all kinds of "interpretations."
