I was wrong already!!

I’m back, speaking to you from the “when I first got this thing I didn’t really get it and couldn’t really see that I’d use it, but then I tried it and found that I love it and now I actually use it all the time” Department. Still with me? I’m talking about a new oil dispenser from Trudeau, the makers of cool kitchen gear I’ve recently discovered (remember the tagine?) Push the pump on the side of the dispenser and the oil goes up a glass pipe to an upper compartment that’s marked with measurements in teaspoons, tablespoons and millilitres. Mine now lives full-time on the counter beside the stove. Not only does it take up less room than a bottle of oil, it’s so much prettier. And there’s no more guessing about exactly what a tablespoon of oil looks like. My daughter Emma, who never met a salad she didn’t love, insisted that we get a second one and fill it with her fave balsamic vinegar (yes to that, no to the Prada handbag). Fortunately, I’m self-actualized enough to admit when I’ve been wrong, so the “I didn’t think I’d use it” gadget has now been officially moved to the “OMG - I love this thing and think everyone should get one right away” Department. The oil/vinegar dispenser costs about $20. For retailers, go to Trudeau call 1-800-TRUDEAU.
