This one little thing makes me ridiculously happy: a flat whisk.

Right. It’s silly, but some days, silly is just the ticket.

Here’s the deal. I don’t often use a whisk, but when you really need one, nothing else works quite as well. So I had this regular sized whisk for years. When I did my kitchen drawer makeover last year, everything fit very nicely…except that darned whisk. I was tempted to toss it, but my inner chef prevailed, so I kept it.

Even though it drove me batty!

My inner researcher found several versions of flat whisks on Amazon. I really liked this collapsible beater whisk , but the reviews were so-so.

Nearly a year later, and I’m still pining for this stupid flat whisk, so I allowed myself the $10 splurge on my latest online order. Look! It goes from this:

to THIS! HA!

Which means my drawer now looks like THIS:

Sexy, I know.

Can you even see the whisk hiding on the right?

You know how some women swoon over shoes? Purses? Jewelry?

Apparently for me, all it takes is a flat whisk. Yep, it’s right up there with my Ryobi drill.

But seriously, folks, now I can get to my cheese spreader without a fight. Shoot, I kind of even forgot I had a fancy cheese spreader. It was sooooooo worth $10.

Anyone need a full-sized whisk? I know of one looking for a good home.
