@JohnInCarolina Teflon would not last 5 minutes here!  I have to hide my non-stick pan in a pillowcase in a dark corner of the pantry 🤣😂. I can only imagine what would happen to teflon in the utensils drawer.  

Speaking of utensils drawer, I am looking at it now and half the stuff in there doesn’t get used.  Time for cleanup!

You do realize that whatever rarely used tool you throw out will be just what you'll need next month. It's like a law of the multiiverse.

It’s a battle (life is really hard), some single purpose kitchen tools are worth keeping around, others aren’t much of an improvement.  We do try to cull those from the drawer when they start to get in the way.

Strawberry/tomato corer is one of my favorite cheap tools, works for lots of things, sadly too small for ice cream.

I like the version that has the jalapeno cleanerouter on the other end.  I use that a lot.

Nope, too many uses for something like that.

oboz hiking boots are nice boots, but the laces will not hold a knot. double overhand, tie the loops, over hand the loops and within an hour you are tripping on those laces..............close to glueing them

Speaking of boots…
Bloke went to a general store looking for a bed pan, the clerk said try Boots, he goes ‘ I did but it leaked’.

we don’t use it for that either, most of the time it gets used to scrape the inside of Roma tomatoes if I’m making pico or ceviche.

I use my thumb for Roma tomatoes.  Slice around outside, then use thumb to push out whatever juice and seeds are in each piece.  Super quick and easy.

I do use the above tool for strawberries that I use to make strawberry shortcake and other dishes with halved strawberries.  How do you core them?

We usually just eat them by hand, rarely include them in anything.

Try dredging a whole strawberry in sour cream and then roll in brown sugar then eat.  Greek yogurt would work as well.

Oh boy, you started it now. I grew up with grapefruit spoons, my wife grew up with grapefruit knives.  Guess which we have in the house now? (maybe this belongs in the marriage advice thread)

This is akin to our solution, which is SWMBO uses whatever she wants with grapefruit and I don’t touch the nasty little buggers.

A Kakuri japanese block plane.  
I've got a collection of Stanley, Record, Lie-Nielsen, and Bridge City planes, but have never played with a Japanese plane before.  The blade is adjusted by tapping on it with a small hammer, and like most Japanese tools, they cut on the pull stroke.  
This isn't a fancy one, we'll see how flat the blade is and how well aligned.  Flattening the bottom of a wood body will be cake compared to iron or brass. For $22 I thought I'd get one to play with.  It was made in Japan, not China.  

I'm guessing you have already seen a Japanese planing competition. If not you should check one out.

I had not, but one just popped up on my feed (was researching how to tune one of these things); skip to about the 2-minute mark.  Pretty interesting, and 5-micron shavings!

I've started to get some Amazon Prime Day stuff in.  I chose no rush because nothing I needed now.  However, it's always fun when something comes in that you absolutely forgot buying.  I remembered the battery tire inflator, but totally forgot the Lord of the Rings special edition.  I held the box and thought man this small box is heavy what is it.  I opened it up and was pleasantly surprised.
