Went to Krogers-owned regional chain: Had only a vertical-handle one (sort of a knob on top) for $24–see the Oxo at Amazon. Kitchenware outlet: standard model, plastic gear-wheel, for $13.

Looked at Lehman.com: Did not find one. Amazon had 6.

My balloon whisk is unbeatable for slowly incorporating oil into vinegar for salad dressings. Flat whisks get into the sides of cooking pots when I’m making sauces. Scrambling a few eggs? I grab my old-fashioned egg beater. A stand mixer lives on my counter and can do mixing chores while I do other things. The food processor makes short work out of grating, slicing, chopping large quantities. Otherwise, a Chef’s knife or box grater is fine. Admittedly, I’m a foodie, do lots of cooking and try to find the most efficient way for each kitchen chore.

As a dedicated cookie baker, my Mom called me one day, and said that she had bought me something at a garage sale. It turned out to be a new in box KitchenAid blender. I love that thing! I will probably make a batch of Skunk Cookies this weekend with it.

Skunk Cookies are basically chocolate chip cookies, but when you add the chocolate chips, add an equall amount of white chips, ( skunk colors, you see ). Since the white chocolate chips are really a form of cocoa butter, some of them melt, and permeate the cookie, so you wind up with very moist, rich cookies. If you have access to Andes Cherry Parfait Mints, use then instead of the chocolate chips, use a whole box. Cherry Skunks are amazing!

And Expat too, that looks to be a good site. I’m going non-electric. Not in a bid to save a world that will outlive us all, including flora and fauna, just for when/if electricity isn’t available. And… for a quieter life too. Egg beaters? I just hadn’t quite gotten to it. Heck, I didn’t even remember. Bah. Thanks again dear lady.

I’m sure my mother still has her egg beater (circa 1957, I would guess); I’ll need to check the next time I’m there. I never thought to buy one, though there are occasions when it would be better than a whisk and more convenient than an electric mixer. Mostly I use forks or whisks at my house. I dislike having to clean the electric mixer (which is cheap and underpowered anyway), so mostly that stays in the cabinet.

The guy there at least knew what they were, but no longer sells them. I grasped his arm desperately and said, “Tell me, son, are they still makin’ socks?”Have they been replaced by some weird electronic thing?” Sure, that’s a joke. However, my wife wanted to put some handkerchiefs in my stocking. She had the Devil’s own time finding them. Will socks be next?

They sell one of the solid egg beaters ($79), but I bought the discounted Christmas fruit cake. I always got one from my late mother, so it is a reminder.

My mother had the latter, it was solid, quiet, and smooth in operation. The RSVP type clattered and vibrated.
