What will they think of next?

If you have trouble getting lid off of jars you might want this new gadget, the LidsOff, from Black & Decker.
I have a simpler solution myself. A couple of years ago at the 4H Fair somebody was handing out little disc-shaped pieces of thick rubber emblazoned with the words "Smokey says only you can prevent forest fires." Wrap that thing around a jar lid and off it comes. Cost: free.
I have lots of gadgets, especially for the kitchen, but I try to limit my purchases to what I will actually use. I do own a Ginsu, but in my defense I bought it when I was much younger and dumber. I may be no smarter now, but I am older. Ok, I do own six different cheese graters. But I need them all, really.
Today's Times has a great article about gadgets. Though I have no idea why anybody would want a brownie pan that makes every brownie with edges. I like the ones from the middle.
