Pot Holders

My pot holders (oven mitts to some, gant isolant to others) were "over the hill" at Christmas time. Stained, burned, generally not fit for everyday use, let alone a party.

It's not that I don't want new ones, it's just that I forget I need them immediately after I put them away. Aghast the next time I take them out, I vow to replace them. I've done this again and again.

Until today. I guess it pays to shop sometimes. I mean "SHOP". Walk around a store from one end to the other, looking at everything. Needs get remembered. Like pot holders. I scored some this afternoon, brought them home and put the old ones out of their misery. What a relief. I'm having guests for dinner this weekend and I won't have to hide them between uses.
