host gift

sugarpunfairy, you were right.

Where in town can I get the most kickass garlic press you ever saw in your life?

(No, I don't use them. I am strictly a crush-and-chopper. But it transpires that an adored garlic press was lost in a breakup. I aim to redress that.)

(Oh and: Hi. I'm home. I didn't die. Reborn maybe.)

Excellent gift discussion, comrades. Thank you!

Let me try this out on you, though. Let's say you said to me "I lost my favorite cast iron pan," and I said "Look! To replace it, I bought you this awesome nostick microcoated ultralight polymer chafing dish!" or "This antique ash-heated clay warming sphere!"

Wouldn't you be like, "Frac, that is so awesome. Now all I need to be happy is a cast iron pan."

I agree that the mortar and pestle is both beautiful and superior in action. I only fear it would be puzzling as a replacement for a garlic press.

Although maybe a whole different category of object is a good idea. Then you can't get the Wrong One.

It's all so confusing. Me, I use the flat side of a knife.

I suppose I could get him a nice knife. Hmm. Possible.
