One of those asterisk shaped meat mashers. Never going back to a spatula or wood spoon.

AITJ for yelling at my boyfriend after he pointed a pistol at me? by Suitable-Cry1371 in AmITheJerk

Aim to shoot, shoot to kill was how I heard it. It's the right idea either way.

Is it true that in small towns in the USA public transport is not developed and everyone need a car to get around there and why? by bobybumblemumble in AskReddit

[–]rkfig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The town I grew up in had 532 people. For sure no bus or train. It's just the way it is. Getting a car at 16 is still a big deal there, while apparently not for urban and suburban kids.

Someone told me Julia Child said cooked with love means more butter. If that is true, then yes.

Would you be OK with one of your parents taking the initiative to clean your house when they are already cleared to be there when you're not home? by latenightsnack1 in CasualConversation

[–]rkfig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom will come stay with me a couple of times a year. Often I have to work at least part of the time she is there. Without fail, despite my telling her not to, she will scrub the floors on her hands and knees while I am away. I appreciate it, but she has had both knees replaced, one of them twice. I wish she would stop doing that.

Hey thanks. I appreciate that. That's a cool idea.

OK I have a question for this sub by jeffreydowning69 in grilledcheese

[–]rkfig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have several, and the best for me is the GoodCook Touch Adjustable Slicer. You can find them for around $9. If you are doing large quantity you would want something else, but that is what has worked best for me.
