Oh, The Courtship of Eddie's Father is a 60s television show. Bill Bixby was the father, Brandon Cruz the son. A single dad, japanese housekeeper, theme song played over them dancing in waves at sunset and buying ice cream, or something like that. I loved that show when I was a kid.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Ricers go against all laws of God and mashed potatoes. The only thing a ricer should be used for is making applesauce, and if you're putting potatoes in your applesauce, either you're Iron Chef Morimoto or you're doing it wrong.
(Potatoes were the big ingredient on Iron Chef recently. All the commentators were like, "That's guaranteed to bring out the natural flavor of the potato!" Ha ha ha.)

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I use the ricer for mashed potatoes when, and only when, the potatoes are being used in another recipe - in shepherd's pie, for instance, where the amount of butter in minimal and the texture important because they're baking for half an hour afterwards, to be browned.
For just eating? Good old fashioned wrist destroying mashing is best, I find.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Oh, is that what a ricer looks like? Yeah, we used that for applesauce, but not potatoes.
(Learn something new every day. Mmm, homemade applesauce.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Freak that I am, I hate mashed potatoes (and, really, anything that soft and mushy). On the other hand, I adored the Iron Chef Potato Battle.

Nigella reckons a ricer is the best way to make mash. Nigella can't be wrong.

See, I've got one of those too. I thought it was an applesauce maker but actually it's a food mill.

Leigh, thing is, being good at Scrabble isn't so much about vocab as it is about strategy and tricks.
Hmm, so I suck not because I vastly over-estimated my vocab prowess, but because I can't strategize worth a damn? mini-Wesley I can live with that.

So food mills don't have a crank or anything like that? Because that's what I'd always imagined.
