OK….Lets have some clarity, up front, about this blog. YES I am a collector. YES I have stuff (some people say a lot of stuff!). YES I am a bower bird. YES I do have a well equipped kitchen (I have been collecting kitchen stuff for a long time) and YES I like to have a busy, at times, messy home.
But an interesting thing happened last week, which created a very peculiar reaction from several people, to an implement they found in my kitchen drawer. So while this collective of folk were having a giggle and teasing me about my overstocked pantry and well equipped kitchen, one of them located a kitchen implement and wondered what is was. It appeared that quite a few people wondered what it was. It became the object of considerable mocking of me over two days. What also befuddled them was that I had not one, not two, but four of these particular implements. (Please note and to my own defense, they were of different sizes!!).
The said implement that caused so much mocking, conversation and consideration, looked at first glance very much like a pair of scissors. Until you laid them sideways and it was obvious they had four, five or six sets of blades. The handles are “non-denominational” – that is, they can be used by lefties or right handed people.
Do you have any of them?
Even the two guest Chefs for the weekend were bewildered by them. “What are they?” Kate Spina asked. “Yeh, what the hell are they?” retorted IKE. “I have never seen them before?” said Alfie. Andrew (my BFF!) commented “Oh, they are herb scissors!”. Of course he was correct!!

The said instruments of much mocking!
Now I have to say that these implements have made their way to my kitchen not by my own gathering and collecting – all of them have been gifts to me from others!!
