A Nicer Slicer
I was at Target ("tar-shjay") yesterday, getting the usual items such as cat food, laundry detergent, and TP. Browsing through the kitchen section - a primary reason why I seem to always spend at least an hour in the damn place - I spotted a cheap mandoline. Recently I was thinking about getting one of these buggers, primarily because I am incapable of slicing things very thin, either consistently or at all. The "inexpensive but decent" class can be had for $20-40, and the "pass on to your kids" class is around $200. So I was happy to see that this Pyrex branded model - with a 25 year warranty - was $10. In the cart it went.
Arriving home I was still dusty and stinky from my morning run, yet I still had to get one of my carrots from the farmers market out of the fridge and turn it into 20 long slices. Cool! I don't expect that the stamped stainless steel blade will stay sharp for long, but by then I will have decided if I want a better one or I can live without it. At this point I'm guessing the answer will be the former. *grin*
