on the hunt...


I have been searching for a long, rectangular, metal spatula for quite some time now. All I see are flimsy rubber things that are seriously lacking in the "I wanna flip some huge pancakes" department. I've found myself being pulled by the barbecue tractor beam where I'm surrounded by cooking utensils that have taken the plunge into the secret world of steroids, hoping no one will truly notice that they are actually 10x's larger than their competition. Me with my little hands, picks one up and begins to imagine getting some type of injury from using such a piece of equipment. Why is it that Barbecue tools have to be engineered for men? Can a woman not cook over an open flame?? Why can't they just be longer and not these Goliath monstrosities that have over sized every things!!??? I understand men usually prefer to grill than cook in the kitchen...but why? I don't feel any more manly cooking over the grill! Why would a man?? Maybe I'll never understand....

Anyway, back to spatulas.....so I wander aimlessly about trying to find spatulas and there's nothing. ALL I want is a long rectangular spatula with a short handle and why can't I find it!!!????!!!
So it seems, the hunt must continue....

  1. Not sure abou the men and BBQ thing. My hubby hates cooking no matter where it is or what it is on. LOL. I have to do all the BBQ stuff too. Consider yourself a lucky girl to have a guy who will cook occasionally for you all. *smile*

  2. I should have prefaced it with "the majority of men"...Dave doesn't usually grill either, I'm the one who does it most of the time. I was referencing to the general population...like when u go to the store and its marketed to guys, was what I was trying to get at. I really do appreciate it when Dave cooks, its a nice treat when he does and I do like his cooking!
