| Who Hash Gift Set, $49.99. Includes one can Who Hash produced by hash artisans from rural Whoville and one inexpensive can opener, |
One more thing.....I'm not a big fan of cooking gift sets. Especially Any Gift Set That Includes a Food Product. The quality of the food and gadgets is likely poor and the price likely high. In one catalog alone I saw gift sets for:
- Paella
- Pizza
- Whoopie Pies
- Donuts
- Ebelskivers
- Fondue
- Cupcakes
- Grilling with BBQ Rub
- Moroccan Tagine
- ....and my favorite, the Himalayan Salt Block set

| Grinch with 3x larger heart |
Yet, in appreciating that the Grinch himself opened up to new possibilities and embraced the positives of Christmas in Whoville, I too, can open up with a positive ending to my Grinchy ramblings today.
Months ago you may have read my thoughts on the Kitchen Tools You Can't Live Without. It's a pretty short list of essentials that every good cook should have. Picking a few items from that list, and a few others we rely on, here's a very short list of favorite kitchen tools. Most are easily found even during last minute shopping, or might be worth exchanging for if there were some impractical cooking items in your stocking.
Keeping a knife sharp is far more important that what you paid for it.
Less expensive than Pam, better taste from your own choice of oil.
How well does a rounded spoon scrape a pot / pan?
Easy to clean up, replaces many blender and food processor tasks
Better than a mesh strainer, a key for sauces, large capacity,
easy to clean, and can double as a regular strainer / colander.
