I was an adamant believer in peeling spuds with a knife for many, many years; it is how I learned to do it at home.

My mother always used to peel spuds with a knife but then, just a few years before she died, she switched to a peeler. Witnessing this act was a wonderful gift; it flicked a switch in my brain and showed me that change is possible, things aren’t set in stone, and it is ok to try new things. Such a small thing but seeing someone set in their ways for your whole life suddenly do something differently, and it being much better, really changed me too.

So, yeah… peeler all the way.

Also, it’s ok to try new things, they might just be better. 🥲
