"Melanie Likes Kitchen Gadgets, Too" Party!

In reference to my previous post about boycotting bridal (and baby) showers, I am open to anyone buying me a cool kitchen gadget. Here are some ideas for you:

A 4 Sided Grater. I could really use one of these. I've broken a couple of the ones you put over a bowl while you grate. (too much muscle, I guess)

I probably would never use these, but aren't they super cool? Quintuple Blade Herb Scissors. I just like the idea of having scissors with 4 blades. Maybe because I just like things done in quadruplicate. 

I tried my hand at some baking recently, and these Cooling Racks would have come in pretty handy.

I need a really good vegetable peeler. These are more temperamental than I previously thought. So choose wisely.
I'd really like a good Electric Griddle. 
Really good Paring Knives are essential for kitchen success. I hate that all my paring knives are always dull. 

I need a good Steamer Basket for my vegetables. Currently, my method to steaming vegetables is pretty primitive. 
These are pretty amazing Measuring Cups. Although I have measuring cups, these matryoshka dolls are actually measuring cups. These are just too fabulous for me!
In light of my impending spinsterhood, I figure a good "Easy Jar Opener" is a must have kitchen gadget. This way, when I'm the only one around, I can open that pesky jar of pickles.


I love corn holders. And these Unicorn Corn Holders are just A-Mazing! These are the ultimate kitchen gadget that would make my day!

Well friends, I hope you start shopping for me. I'm really at a loss over here for lacking in kitchen gadget goodness. :)

That was weird

Yesterday, I walked into church, and before I could even set my things down, this awkward guy comes up to me and asks, "Have you seen 17 Miracles?" I said, "No." He said, "Oh, well you look like the "Pioneer Lover Girl" in that movie." Clearly, my only sensible response was, "Thanks, I appreciate when people tell me I look like famous lovers." He then went on to ask another guy that was sitting there, but unfortunately that guy had "only seen the first 10 minutes of the movie," which is apparently not enough time to discover the "Pioneer Lover Girl" and her uncanny likeness to me.

So I naturally googled 17 Miracles to view my doppleganger. I don't have the greatest photo to compare the two of us. But I think the main comparison he must have been thinking is that I have long, unruly hair.

It's a mystery

So yesterday I got to my carrel and there was this random sign on it:

... I don't know anyone named Doug... What does this sign mean? I normally walk to school so I'm not really taking anyone's real parking spot... I'm honestly confused.

So what do we think? ... just plain randomness? ... as my friend says "mystery admirer" ...?

How am I going to get towed from my desk? Many, many questions...
