May. 9th, 2010 01:25 pmBetween going out for breakfast this morning and hassling the dog all afternoon, we baked a carrot cake.
I would like to point out that my family did most of the baking, but I served a very important function, which was to explain the operation of the cuisinart.
Carrot cakes, of course, require shredded carrot, and Mum was bemoaning the fact that her new cuisinart doesn't have a shred fixture, just a slice fixture.
"Sure it does," I said. "You flip the slice disc over and the other side shreds."
I swear, if I had come down from the mount with this concept carved onto stone tablets, it could not have been more of a revelation for my mother. She has been shredding stuff all afternoon. I think she has shredded all the cheese in the house. She has officially retired her cheese grater. It's completely possible this was the best Mother's Day gift of all.
