Thing

   

A few years ago, a friend gave me this orange plastic bowl/strainer thing from her Brazilian vacation.  A popular item down there, it can rinse and drain in the same frisbee-like vessel.  Flat side down to swish and rinse; short side up to drain from the holes in the bottom half.  But don’t I have a colander that can do all that?  Sham-wow, slap-chop, this is so much better. It can go from sink to table, stat, without getting water all over the place.  And when I’m really lazy, I pop it, as is, into the fridge, perfect for summer fruit.  It’s the greatest thing that I never thought that I would care about, and now I love.
