stick to one thing

long story, but our dishwasher ate my vegetable peeler. so sad, since this is a kitchen gadget i use quite a bit!

anyways, i was at the grocery store last week and saw the peelers on display and decided to go ahead and replace mine. they had a more expensive peeler and a less-expensive corer/peeler. since i'm somewhat of a bargain shopper, i thought, "a corer and peeler in one and for less money-- what a deal!". what i should have been thinking was "stick to one thing". lesson learned. i got the peeler home and used it to make dinner. much to my dismay, the corer/peeler is a piece of junk! i haven't try to "core" anything, but the "peeler" function, well, doesn't do its job. what a waste. i ended up with carrot shavings all over the place, a less-than-perfectly peeled carrot, and a lot of time wasted. so sad.

take home message: stick to one thing. while i pride myself on being the queen of multi-tasking (don't most women?), i have learned that in fact, it isn't any quicker to put on my shoes while brushing my teeth. just stick to one thing, amanda. you and the corer/peeler will be much better off.

dinner in the making
