Cocktail pick storage
 |
| I received a fun holiday present - a set of metal cocktail picks. They are very pointy, which I like, but this very feature raised a dilemma: where to put the darned things?! In a drawer is no good - you'll get poked when you reach for the pastry brush. |
 
|
| I looked around the kitchen (a good way to get ideas) and my eyes lit on the salt shaker. Perfect! Food snobs that we are, our pepper lives in a grinder, not in a shaker. That meant there had to be an extra shaker somewhere, and (miraculously enough) I managed to locate it. The picks dropped right into the holes - clearly it was designed for this very purpose. |

Should you not wish to sacrifice the mate to a pair, lonely salt and pepper shakers are readily available at garage sales and thrift stores. On the other hand, if you have a cheapo set of shakers like these, maybe you do want to sacrifice them and upgrade-- there are all kinds of interesting shakers out there, whether you're into bikes, Lego, carnivorism, architecture, bathroom humor, modern design, or
chemistry.
Next, I'm going to start looking for a parmesan shaker for our barbeque skewers. |
