BEST GIFT EVER!

Oodgie, you've outdone yourself!

What a GREAT birthday gift!  Incredibly thoughtful.  Seriously, it's PERFECT!

I HATE the crap that gets caught in our sink, and I hate the way the stupid sink-stopper randomly plugs the drain.  Who wants to wash dishes by hand when the sink is filling up with a pool of liquefied detritus and vegetable residue?  It makes my hands stink of Teflon and rot, and if it weren't for the Palmolive they'd be dry and cracked as hell.

You know I love Good Grips, but I had no idea they made a sink stopper!  The OXO Good Grips Sink Strainer combines sleek stainless steel with flexible, stain-resistant silicone. The easy-to-clean silicone basket traps food debris to prevent clogs. When it’s time to empty the Strainer, I simply pick it up by the center post and invert the silicone basket for easy debris removal. And the silicone underside won’t scratch the sink basin!          

Best.  Birthday.  Ever.

For the record, this is partially my wife's sense of humor, and partially the result of me buying the new iPhone and other long-term investments, all of which I justified as "my birthday presents."  Frankly, an extra hour of sleep this morning would have been sufficient.

Amen to that. My wife picked up this item a coupla weeks ago, and it runs circles around any other sink strainer or plug. Little things like not having to touch soggy food particles when cleaning the strainer go a long way.

I intend to seek out other Good Grips items the next time I hit Safeway. And who can't love a company with as cool a name as OXO?

Happy birthday First Born. Congratulations on reaching the age where "practical" over-rides "the newest toy in town". We love you. Have a good one. See you soon.
