This is actually on another board, but.....when people who love you and know you love to cook, gift you, what odd things do they give you? Not everyone, of course, but didn't you ever get something so strange in the cooking realm that it practically defies explanation? I had a wonderful aunt, and real "great dame" who died at 94, and one of her gifts to me was a battery operated flour sifter. It sort of looked like a regular sifter, but you put the flour in, and it, uh, vibrates, ya know, just sifting-vibrating that flour.........Anyone else receive something......strange?
