Eschewing the electric can opener, wine bottle opener, and salt and pepper grinders, I also use a hand mixer for my fantastic baked concoctions. (Ahem.)
”You use it or lose it,” has been my motto for the kitchen. And believe me, those cans are getting harder to open. Some of them arrive bent and that is a challenge. Then we have to involve a kitchen knife to pry up the last quarter inch of tin! Danger at every turn.
Other than that, we use all of the conveniences afforded us in this little world, and yes, we are grateful, sending our prayers to those in Helene’s wake who must start over.
RIP, Helene.
