I Bought This A Month Ago And Couldn’t Be Happier With It…

Needed it grate cheese easier, especially with the smaller size grating. Also to grate carrots and other veggies for salads. And carrots for carrot bread, that’s a chore to get enough because carrots are hard. We’ve had tasty baked potato chips using the slicer to make very thin slices.

When I received it I opened it up and put it together. It was smaller and reminded me of a child’s toy. But when I used it this grater reminded me of churning butter as a child when I was about 4 years old. My sisters and I all wanted to be the first to get to use that churn. My aunt remarked that she wouldn’t have bought an electric butter churn if she knew we would be churning the butter for her. This grater is easy and as fun as the butter churn. I have given the boy the job of grating cheese when I am making pizza, Brazilian Tapioca Cheese Rolls and casseroles. But now I want to do it more. I bought this over a month ago.

I have one of these, which will do if I grate Parmesan cheese. For carrots and so on, I have to shred using my food processor, because my wrists are so damaged.

@4meAndyou the boy loves to use this, he’ll grate anything for me on it. If he wants carrot bread or muffins I’ll ask him to do it for me.

@cherokeepatti The boy is awesome. You are really raising him to be a fine young man!

@4meAndyou He has a lot of empathy for others and seems like high social intelligence. He tries to be a peacemaker when his friends are in the outs with one another or to distract and tone down arguments etc. Just the opposite of his mother, she could get under my skin in a heartbeat with needless criticisms (usually projecting her own things onto others). She would move in and then out of poeple’s homes that had took pity on her and let her come in. Usually two weeks was her max stay, and because of her mean mouth.

@cherokeepatti Just his own observations of you, and the way you love your birds and educate them, and your own high social consciousness, has probably shaped him into the awesome kid he has become.

@cherokeepatti Sometimes it takes a LOT of people to raise a child. My own Aunt Dorothy was a lovely influence in my life.

@4meAndyou yeah his great-grandmother did till he was in first grade. His aunt started to and then tossed him to us because he peeped out to her brother and sister in law during a visit that she was frequenting the gambling casino at night very often. He called her up and chewed her out. He was a preacher until his wife caught him the second time with a young woman he worked with for the second time. She is half his age and the wife divorced him. But anyway…we wanted him and his sister here anyway. Sister wanted to stay with the aunt because they were wealthy and usually went out to dinner, she had a big room etc. etc. She regretted it later. Aunt is bipolar and a personality problem. She said it was narcissism and sounded like it. She had her wealthy husband wrapped around her little finger.
