I use my garlic press when my garlic mincer isn't around (husband - he does the most perfect mince, he's a great prep cook!)! I think there are some uses where it is nicer to chop or mince, but I certainly have no issue or snobbery about presses!!!

Hi Yulichka....a little pricey, but I love my Rosle garlic press. I like that it is stainless steel...but those nice old ones you can pick up in consignment shops from time to time are great!

Ooooh....I would agree, if I hadn't lived on Maui for a couple of years, and upcountry had thee most amazing strawberries....some of the best I have ever had! We used to visit a farm stand that sold them, along with fresh pineapple. The strawberry, pineapple, and banana fruit salad we used to make was out of this world. ;)

Regardless of that...this recipe looks fabulous and I must make it this weekend!

Pi, tarain, yobo, scuttled, emily, et al.
i agree!
i am tired of the computer generated address labels, the printed photo, greeting, etc. there is nothing personal about them, even with the family pictured. when isend cards, they are all hand addressed and a personal note. otherwise i don't bother. it seems to mechanical and not a thoughtful thing. i might start sending photos of our insanely photogenic orange tabby cats! lol

I with all on the Unicorn Magnum Plus....I have not looked back. I love wooden mills for the aesthetics, but the Magnum is so easy to clean, and fill, and the perfect mechanism is unmatched.
