What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

The Nutty-flea family rices applesauce? That's just wrong.

Yes, but do they applesauce rice?

I don't know, but apples and rice might make a nice stuffing for a roast chicken, maybe with some pearl onions and some carrots and broccoli.

Rice is nummy with pecans in. Most things are nummy with pecans in, unless you're Deb, who gets anaphylactic when there are pecans in, so she abstains.

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

Betsy, it's called a chinois or china-cap strainer. Truly. I have one, with specially shaped pestle and accompanying stand.

Okay, so we didn't use a ricer, we used one of these.

Which I realize none of you are interested in, but I'm busily expanding my cooking vocab. On the other hand, this means that I have to let go of my pleasure that unlike Giles, my family did have a ricer. Oh well.

Ricers are kind of like garlic presses, only bigger.

Yeah, we never used a ricer for applesauce either. Don't even own one. Our applesauce-smoother is a sort of food-mill thing with a crank. And we cook skins-on, as far as I recall. I haven't made applesauce in yonks.

We mash potatoes with a fork, or occasionally get really fierce with the wooden meat-tenderizing mallet. My stepmother used to put mashed potatoes in the Cuisinart, or it might have been my father. Um, glue, folks.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

That is its fancy Euro unAmerican name.

Ahem:

Williams Sonoma ALSO calls it a chinois, damnit

It's definitely a chinois, a.k.a. china cap strainer. My Dad sells restaurant supplies, and I've seen them described as such in a hundred catalogues.

Also, this conversation has made me realize that I need many, many more kitchen gadgets. Also, a new kitchen.
