Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hmm, so I suck not because I vastly over-estimated my vocab prowess, but because I can't strategize worth a damn?
Well, you probably can strategize. You just need to hang with a true Scrabble freak for a while to show you all the tricks they spend their lives coming up with and refining.

Katie, they do have cranks. It's ricers that squeeze, and food mills that crank.
Ah, okay, so the long pointy thing with a pestle is a ricer, but not a food mill.
I'm sure this can be integrated with the Scrabble/vocabulary talk somehow.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Speaking of Scarbble, I have an issue with Literati. I spent years training myself to use the "u" and "s" spellings of things "colour instead of color, utilise instead of utilize - only when in the UK. I finally said, sod this, and went back to using my UK spellings because spelling things with all those zeds just looks odd to me.
And Literati - the online scrabble - doesn't like the UK versions.
Maddening.

jimi, do not tease the little old lady with multiple sclerosis about her funky typing.
Tease her, instead, about her apparent inability to notice her own funky typing.

Damn, killed the thread. Wasn't trying to.
Speaking of odd little kitchen gadgets, someone gave me this, only in metal.
It sort of looks like fun, but I put it on a top shelf and I keep forgetting it's there until after I've already blanched and done tomatoes. One day, I swear, I'll remember I have it before I make the sauce, instead of while I'm doing the washing up after I've made it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why does one rice applesauce?

Cooked apples are like cooked potatoes - mushy but not a complete puree. While mashed potato lumps can be pleasant, depending on your preference, apple sauce should be smoooooove.

In my family's case, we usually left the peel on the apple while cooking it, too. So then we smushed it through the ricer, and got nice smooth pink applesauce with no peel.
