Gadget of the Month

I am a terrible shopper.

Let me clarify that...

I forget to write a list, dash round the store picking up things that I think I need and then I get distracted by something shiny and new, buy it and get home and realise that I have forgotten something vital, like the lemons for a lemon cake, or the chocolate for a chocolate mousse.

I have been trying to curb my spending recently as I am "saving" money for the house and the nice things that are necessities. Like carpets and floors!

MIU Silicone Bowl Scraper, Blue">

THIS is the latest shiny and new wonder that I have found. A silicone scraper.

While I survived just fine when I didn't have one, I now wonder what I did without it. No more will you go at the bottom of a mixing bowl with a small spatula trying to get all the little last bits out of it and into the cake tin. Two, possibly three scrapes, will have all the batter in the tin with no waste. Lets face it in these recessionary times, none of us like to see anything go to waste.

However, if you like to lick the bowl, you could always leave a little in the bottom of the bowl. Just to taste of course!

Costing in the region of €8 they are quite cheap and very handy to have. And lets face it, they won't break the bank!

Mine is a lovely baby pink colour, and matches the lovely large mixing bowls and knives that I have.

Enjoy!
