Tell us your greatest hits. Here's mine. Years ago, I started giving the ladies in the family really neat cooking stuff instead of jewelry they might not like or something else that I thought was pretty and they tucked away in a drawer, never to see daylight again. I wasn't certain that they would go for the idea but they have all LOVED it. Every one of them. Isn't it awful that brides attempt to cook with cheap junk and stuff from granny's attic? ( I used to have cookie sheets that wouldn't be good for a 1958 Studebaker oil drip pan.) Last year's great hit? I gave each of them a mezzaluna. It is a curved chopping blade with a handle and a bowl to match. They've all turned into chopping maniacs - making salsa and topping all manner of stuff with pecans and assembling fine salads. It really is such a cool tool that all of them have been searching high and low so they could make a hit with mezzalunas for their friends. You can see one at
