Today, as I was making pancakes as my mother-in-law prepared to move back home. This involved cleaning and showing me all the six different brooms, brushes, vacuums, etc that she used to clean the floor and carpets (she loves to clean, which I try very hard to understand but often fail). I asked if it was really useful to keep so many different cleaning tools.
She replied, "You see, it's like your cooking. You are whisking the egg whites with a whisk, but couldn't you just use a fork?" I looked around at my bowls and whisks and spatulas and spoons and measuring cups, and I realized all their jobs could be done with a spoon, fork, knife, and cup.
Outsmarted by Mama again!
