Magical Mystery Tool
Orange peeler. Kids love them too to play with play doh. I have nails
but hate getting stuff under them. Even my hubby uses ours. Simple tool but great still. Joanna I.E.Z. wrote: Yesterday I had the urge to clean out my kitchen drawers. While I was going through the one next to the stove, I found something I vaguely remembered, but can't identify. It's an orange plastic stick, about 5 1/2" long. It seems sturdy, has a slight hook to the end (but not hook-y enough to crochet with) and it has "Oxmoor House" stamped on the flat part at the opposite end of the stick from the hook. I know Oxmoor House published crafting books, and I have a vague recollection that this might have been some kind of premium for subscribing to something, but I don't know for sure. I also can't figure how it got into a drawer of kichen implements, because I'd bet it's a crafting tool of some kind. DH initially thought it might be for carving or cleaning out pumpkins, but that doesn't seem quite right. It might be good for opening up seams and giving them a little press. I've posted a couple pictures on a web album. Here's the link, in the folder marked "tool": http://picasaweb.google.com/I.E.Zawil Does anybody know what it's for? Thanks! Iris |

* Why don't we have in-home quilt stuff parties ala Tupperware? Any excuse to look at fabric & books & tools, and eat. Because there isn't enough chocolate in the WORLD to host such a soiree. We could bring our laptops and place online orders. Then what would be the point of the party? With T-ware, the idea is for the hostess to sell stuff - not have guests buy it online from elsewhere. Have the party, sure, but it wouldn't be a la T-ware without a hostess-profit motive. ;-) |

It cuts the peel so you can peel the fruit easily. I have a couple of them because I don't have any fingernails to peel the fruit. |

We used those for peeling oranges. The hooked end was to break the skin and
the flat end was to strip the skin back from the fruit. Hope this helps. "I.E.Z." wrote in message ... Yesterday I had the urge to clean out my kitchen drawers.

I won one at a Tupperware party too. That was the party where I got lucky at the games and came home with the orange peeler, the egg seperator, the sugar scoop, and the cake server. *My mom didn't speak to me for a week, and then when I went to college and they went to Colorado she absconded with all my tupperware!

... I still have my egg separator! i love that thing! One of my favorite oddball kitchen tools is my hard-boiled egg slicer -- a plastic base with an egg-shaped concavity, with a hinged top with a row of wires, so when you close the top it makes egg slices. It's so much easier than the messy process of slicing or chopping hard boiled eggs with a knife, and if you mix the slices into a salad (like tuna salad) the slices are thin enough to dice themselves, so to speak. ep |

I put the egg slices thru a second or third time with a twist in direction
each time. Chops those eggs in a jiffy! Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. "Edna Pearl" wrote in message ... "amy in CNY" wrote in message ... I still have my egg separator! i love that thing!

I have a little thingiemabobber that you put a hb egg in
w/o the shell, of course. In a few hours, out pops one perfectly shaped square egg. ;0 Donna in WA One of my favorite oddball kitchen tools is my hard-boiled egg slicer -- a plastic base with an egg-shaped concavity, with a hinged top with a row of wires, so when you close the top it makes egg slices.
