Have you seen one of these do-hickies?





I seem to be making lots of meals and treats for people lately. These happened to be a batch of chocolate chip cookies for a friend. But the point is, see that do-hickey in back of the pan of cookies? That has to be my most favorite kitchen posession! Well, besides my crockpot and Kitchen Aid mixer...and tornado blender! I'm not getting a kick-back or anything for this, I'm just sharing between friends. I had seen (and coveted) a dispenser like this for plastic wrap at a deli I used to visit "back in the day" of gainful employment (LOL) and lo and behold if QVC didn't have it on air one day. It was a "two-fer" deal. I got the foil AND plastic dispenser. Ya know how that plastic just sticks and never peels off and cuts straight? Well with this do-hickey it doesn't! I'm just waiting for them to make the one for LONG rolls of foil! My box of long foil just fell apart - quite difficult to tear it off when it does that!


And would you look at this.....

It's OCTOBER 30th for Pete's sake!!! I want some of that "chill" everybody else is talking about. That was taken from my car thermometer. It's just wrong on so many levels! LOL
I have the air condition on and my other blog friends are snuggling up to a cozy blanket. Waaaah! What a big baby, eh? LOL.
I did make two more tote bags today. These are out of some beautifully rich looking tapestry upholstry fabric I had in my stash that I finally did something with. I'll post pics later. I call these bags "schlepping bags", because they big enough for throwing everything in. LOL

'til then, be good to each other

  5. Good Morning, stopping by from SITS!

    Love the foil dispenser! I know what you mean about it never tearing properly and that would be great to have especially if you are such a sweetie taking food treats to others!

    It's been cool in Missouri. I don't like cold weather at all, I should move :)

  6. Oh, I'd love a dispenser! Unfortunately my husband, trying to be helpful, bought a food-service-size box of foil that will probably last through my great-great grandchild and won't fit in a small dispenser...and I can't tell you how frustrating keeping that big box around is. Oh, well...I love my husband for trying!

  9. This is so neat... but... where do you put it when your not using it? That is always my problem with cool doo-hickys.

    I've been in FL for 9 years now. I just told my husband yesterday... yes just yesterday... I want to move. I really miss the change of seasons. Maybe north GA... it wouldn't be SO cold, but enough to have a change of seasons!!!

    Happy Baking.... Wanna do a Cookie Exchange around the holidays this year with some of our friends?

  10. LOL Effie - I keep it on my counter. With my house being old, the drawers in the kitchen just aren't big enough so I re-arranged some "counter clutter" (LOL) and put it next to the KitchenAid mixer I referred to! LOL Not sure it'll stay there, but it's there for now.
    Desiree hosted a cookie exchange last year. It was fun (I made the Butterfinger cookies---yum!) You hosting????

    That's so sweet of your hubby to do that. We love our spouses when they "try". LOL. I have a super-industrial size of plastic wrap too. (Bought it after viewing a cake baking lesson on youtube and she suggested it for some reason - LOL) I haven't even opened it yet! I keep waiting for them to come out with the kind of dispenser for those long rolls of foil - which they said they were working on.
