How brilliant is this - Hot Ingredient for the New Year: Elbow Grease?

I found this post when I was reading the kitchen tune-up post.

I have whipped egg whites into submission* by hand before. It was fun…one time :)

Personally, I think you’re one step ahead if you make your own whipped cream instead of buying cool whip, but I fully understand where thekitchn is coming from. It kind of reminds me of this post from Kate, if you’re into that kind of thing.

So, it’s probably too late to talk about stocking stuffers, but I’m going to…because they’re too cute not to share. My husband and family find me the cutest kitchen gadgets to surprise me with.

This year, I got

These beautiful “hand-painted” measuring bowls from Pier 1 (from my mom).

And these nifty measuring beakers (from Mr. J) [These are from OXO. There is a 4th one, the smallest, but it's in the dishwasher.]

Last year, I got

These measuring matryoshkas (From Mr. J) [a Fred product]

And this long dog appetizer server – perfect for mixed nuts or olives (from Mr. J)

Two years ago, I got these adorable timers.

Love it!
