Tools: Herb scissors

So my mom called all excited about these Multi-Blade Herb Scissors.  I thought they sounded ridiculous, but they’re actually amazingI used them to cut parsley and cilantro without having to get the leaves stuck to my fingers and potentially whacking off a fingernail trying to chop them into bits.  

Tools: Box Grater

A good Microplane Box Grater is an essential in my kitchen.  This one has four different graters / slicers.  Two thumbs way up!  Word to the wise….this is the sharpest grater I’ve seen.  Be particularly careful when grating cheese….
