Back in March, the day before my birthday, Tom and I had several errands to run. In and among them, we were in stores where I was looking for a bowl that pours. Lynne has one, and back in the Nineties, when I’d bake a lot of cakes for her to decorate, I never used her fancy mixers. I just wanted a hand mixer and a good bowl, because I’m old school that way. (Also, I once broke one of her good mixing bowls, and after that, I preferred using her plastic pouring bowl.)
We weren’t having any success, but our errands took us through our old ‘hood, where one of the shopping centers in Montrose has a Sur La Table. I was having no luck finding a bowl there, either, but Tom spotted one. I liked it immediately, and only after we took it to the counter did we find out it was on sale. SCORE!
A batter bowl, they call it, and porcelain, not plastic, but exactly the size I was looking for. I really like the style, and I’ve used it three times already. Today, I used it to make a birthday cake for Rhonda. The fourth is her birthday (“May the fourth be with her!”), but we’ll be celebrating it tomorrow night. Can’t wait for us all to be together to have some sheer enjoyment after a challenging week.
