I was at Walgreen's getting a prescription when the woman in line in front
of me asked if they could get down two "Batter Pro's" for her. I saw the
boxes, cringed silently, then searched and found this abbreviated
description (my comments are in brackets):

a.. Batter all your food in under 10 seconds. [yes, please batter all your
food. It's so HEALTHY.]
a.. Saves time. [Lord knows it's hard to dredge food in flour or crumbs by
hand.]
a.. No mess and No waste. [What if you add too much flour or crumbs? Is it
gonna magically turn them into something yummy for you?]
a.. Never touch raw food. [God forbid!]
a.. Works with batter, breadcrumbs, cornmeal and marinades. [Exactly how
does marinade constitute "batter"?]
a.. Perfect for chicken, pork, fish, vegetable and more. [more WHAT???]
a.. Set Includes:
a.. Batter Pro
b.. Recipe Guide
c.. Adjustable Knife
d.. Professional Kitchen Utensil
a.. As Seen On TV. [Whew! That sure comforts me]
a.. Bonus Gift: Amazing adjustable knife and Professional kitchen utensil.

Gotta love those "Professional Kitchen Utensils". They are so professional
they defy an actual description! It's a whisk! It's a spatula! No wait,
it's a salad server! And of course, the adjustable knife, well, you just
*have* to have one. You can't possibly have more than one knife in the
kitchen. But wait... will it cut through a tin can like it was soft butter
and then smoothly slice a tomato? Inquiring minds want to know

Damn, Jill, you spoiled the surprise! Guess I'll just have to take your
gift back to Walgreen's.

You mean you can actually cook without one of these? g

Tilapia was the fish I have caught most in my life. They were in the
plantation fresh water reservoirs. Once as a pre-teen, I think I
caught 55 in one night. But my Mom and Dad are dead so it may just be
my fantasy recollection.

Monkfish is wonderful, just ugly. Tilapia is a really nice fish as well -
but much better looking. :~)
