The bees love these poppies
|
Thirty six years ago I was getting ready to leave home to move into the Halls of Residence at the place I studied as an Undergraduate. I bought a load of kitchen equipment, including a potato peeler. It was my faithful tool until I had to retire it last week when it finally fell apart in my hands. Now I'm trying to find a replacement, and it's not proving easy. Here is the one I bought from the shop I always think of as 'the expensive kitchenware shop'. It happened to be very cheap, only £1.99, but it looked of a similar design: stainless steel, with a swivel blade.
Sadly that handle isn't as ergonomically designed as my original tool - the poor finish on the edge of the metal means it cuts into your hand as you're peeling. As the saying goes, there's no tool like an old tool. I'm still in the market for a decent peeler, so if you see one, let me know.
Changing the subject, at St Martin's cafe today it was a pleasant distraction sitting outside in the sun watching the bees busy on the poppies.
