This ones for you Michelle and Eric...

OK...so I have a tendency to hang onto to things for a long time! Sometimes that's good...and in this case...according to our neighbors Michelle and Eric...sometimes it's bad. So, out goes the old and in comes the new! M and E were kind enough to give us this shiny, fancy new strainer for Christmas. They claim they are merely saving us from lead poisioning. I said I've only been using that strainer since I was a kid, as it belonged to my mother, but I guess only time would have told. We'll see if we start to feel better! :)

Old rusty next to it's shiny new replacement

Old rusty's last days. Proof that it's headed to the landfill.
Whoops...should I have put this in recycling instead?!?
