You know when you reach in the drawer and pull out something as beat up as this funnel, perhaps you are older than you think.....maybe? I tend to think of myself as a spry young chick.....and then I see this. What a slap in the face realize I have been using the same funnel for the last 48 years. Am I that old.......to have a 48 year old funnel? How old am I?
Just look at the stains and scratches and dents and more dents. No, not me, silly, the funnel! Am I going to throw that thing out just cause it’s dented? Oh no! That hot jelly still slides right through it. It still works.
I love you, but don’t throw me out just because I have a few dents. I still make good jalapeño jelly.
P.S. I wish I had Grandma’s old whisk, repaired with wire and I would pay premium to have the old flat bottomed metal spoon Mom used to stir gravy. Priceless memories. Now, let’s have some jelly.
