Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 16 Sep 06 - 03:51 PM That space spatula made the news again this morning. They talked about it on Weekend edition. Spatulas in Space! I can see it, the next cooking show on the Food Network. |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 14 Sep 06 - 10:59 PM ...it returns to Earth in a fireball early next month. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for a spatula to return to earth in a vat of hot canola oil? |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 14 Sep 06 - 09:26 PM We did discuss it, but it was probably in another venue. This week I found two more tucked away in a drawer that I'd forgotten all about. I was searching because I needed something to reach down in a skinny bottle, and there, in the wrong drawer (no doubt put away months ago by one of my children) in a back corner were two fine slim silicone spatulas. I think they were a christmas gift last year. Lucky me! |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: GUEST Date: 14 Sep 06 - 06:33 PM "it returns to Earth in a fireball early next month" That'll be one helluva lot cheaper than a cab . . . . |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Rapparee Date: 14 Sep 06 - 06:31 PM My God! Unnoted, unreported! This excerpt from the Associated Press: ...Last July, spacewalker Piers Sellers sheepishly reported that he lost a spatula. Nicknamed "spatsat" by space junk watchers, it returns to Earth in a fireball early next month. |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 16 Jul 06 - 10:14 AM I think I like them plain better. Mustard might sting, don't you think? |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: bobad Date: 15 Jul 06 - 10:40 PM I get the feeling that I'm serving up soft pitches for you SRS, I had better start putting some mustard on 'em. |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Jul 06 - 10:11 PM Okay, I'll take the plunge-- There are rubber-clad |
|
Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: bobad Date: 15 Jul 06 - 09:25 PM Uh huh, a rubber axe handle - about as useful as a rubber crutch. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Peace Date: 15 Jul 06 - 08:18 PM Looks like it could double as an axe handle. |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: bobad Date: 15 Jul 06 - 07:12 PM Looking for a really useful tool? I echo this assessment: "I've been using mine for over a year, and it shows no wear. It is easily my most used utensil in the kitchen, and has relegated many other tools to the Goodwill bin." Check it out |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Tootler Date: 15 Jul 06 - 06:41 PM Yes the little flat metal ones, though one had a spoon at one end. I see from your link that they also come in plastics these days. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: MaineDog Date: 15 Jul 06 - 10:58 AM Not nearly enough! I should have one flat metal one for each griddle and each frying pan, and one little rubber one for each jelly jar and honey pot. Definitely need more. MD |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Jul 06 - 10:48 AM You mean those flat little metal ones? Or others? (You may have to plug in a search term since this is an active server page). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Tootler Date: 14 Jul 06 - 04:37 PM I used to have three spatulas but now I am retired I have got rid of them. The spatulas were of the sort you use in Chemistry labs btw |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 13 Jul 06 - 10:24 PM Oh no! The poor spatula! Imagine how traumatized the remaining five spatulas in his collection are! I shall telephone my congressman and insist that NASA scrub the rest of the mission and mount a full-fledged rescue attempt! You know they'd try to recover it if it was something unimportant like a landing gear. |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Kaleea Date: 13 Jul 06 - 04:54 PM So, I'm wondering--just what does a spaceman's spatula look like? When they dropped it, did it make a sound? What does one say when one drops a spatula in outer space? "Whoopsie!" just doesn't seem to do it. |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Jul 06 - 10:05 AM There was only one thing missing from the spacewalk: Sellers' spatula. It flew overboard, off the right side of the shuttle's payload bay. "No sign of the spatula. I think it's gone, gone, gone," Sellers said of the kitchen appliance, 14 inches long and 2 inches wide. When Sellers was nearing the finish of his extended seven-hour, 11-minute spacewalk, mission control teased him by making him count his spatulas. He still had five left, from a total of 6. "Rub it in, rub it in," Sellers said. It is rare for spacewalkers to lose such a tool, but "it is no hazard to us," Gonzalez-Torres said. Nonetheless, military monitors of space debris were notified of the new hazard to track. Gonzalez-Torres praised the duo for using the goo to repair five of eight mock test sites. The other three were there in case they had extra time to work, but they were sent to their next task. I can see the art work now. . . |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Nov 05 - 10:50 PM eBay search (may not be a durable link). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Nov 05 - 10:13 PM I'm the current high bidder on a thunderbird at eBay, but it won't shoot holes in anything, including your golfcourse. I'll take a look and see if they sell spatulas next. |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Rapparee Date: 11 Nov 05 - 10:03 PM I'm sorry, Bee-Dubya, for the loss of your beloved. After I read your post I felt I had to do something to mark the passing of your spatula, and this being Veterans' Day I couldn't think of anything more appropriate than a twenty-one gun salute. So I hauled out my Enfield, dug around until I found some bullets, and went outside to fire the salute. I also took my trumpet so that I could play "Taps." After nine or ten shots the cops showed up. I explained what I was doing, and they agreed that it was a fine and noble thing, so they joined in. I went inside and got some coffee and doughnuts, and by the time I come outside again the neighbors were helping as well. By and by someone opened a case of beer, another feller brought a grill over and pretty soon we were having one heckuva funeral salute for your beloved spatula. All in all, several thousand rounds were fired, if you include those by Crazy Eric, who brought his rabbit gun over. I didn't get to play "Taps," but a couple of guys with bagpipes did pipe "Johnny Cope," which everyone enjoyed a lot more. Things kinda broke up after a flight of Idaho Air Guard Warthogs fired their salute into the ground. We figured we couldn't top that, go we all did a hand salute and went on home. Those Warthogs sure did tear the golf course out back a new one, though. Lots more holes for the golfers to chose from now.... |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Nov 05 - 12:41 PM Many of the [sic] rubber scrapers are made of silicon these days. They don't melt like the rubber did. So far I haven't murdered any to report back on what does take them out. That turner-less pancake maker is just a cheap knockoff of a krumkake iron. You can make waffles with pancake batter on your krumkake iron, though I've never bothered to try it. I just make krumkake, and I use a pancake turner-type spatula to remove each cookie from the iron. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: GUEST,Ingrid Frances Stark Date: 11 Nov 05 - 04:03 AM How many spatulae? Well, when Stephen Lee moved in with me we each had a full stock of kitchen accoutrements. I find at least 20 in the kitchen, but who knows how many may be hiding in as yet unpacked boxes somewhere in the basement? I think we fall well within the parameters of the spatula rich. Perhaps we could get together for a spatula swapping party, or establish a spatula bank for distribution of our excesses to those in need.... Ingrid |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Kaleea Date: 11 Nov 05 - 02:55 AM I believe I recall seeing something akin that years ago--sort of like two small teflon skillets hinged together which cooked everything from crepes to grilled cheese sandwiches & burgers. Ever notice that it is impossibe to find a real rubber (not plastic) spatula these days? Not to mention a metal spatula--if the person at the store even knows what one is. It is easy, however, to find el cheapo pancake flipper devices, especially the kind that melt in the pan. |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 11 Nov 05 - 02:33 AM I have some bad news, folks. One of the spatulas I had when I started this thread is no longer with us. Yes, it has gone to that great Waffle House in the sky where all good spatulas go when they've flipped their final hamburger patty. The poor thing got left a little too close to a stove burner and... well, does the term "amorphous blob of soot-tinged white plastic" mean anything to you? The spatula is sorely missed and any help you may feel inclined to offer to help get us through the grieving process would be appreciated. If you want to send some flowers, that'd be nice. Money would be better. If you don't have the cash, I take VISA, Mastercard and American Express. |

Subject: RE: BS: How Many Spatulas Do YOU Own??? From: Bard Judith Date: 11 Nov 05 - 12:22 AM How many, eh? One metal one (not-allowed-to-use-because-all-our-pans-are-teflonated) Two plastic ones - one large and wide and slotted... one small and solid and slightly scorched at the leading edge, giving it a space-shuttle-on-reentry sort of look. Waaaaaay too many of the cheap wooden Ikea kind that start looking downright fluffy around the edges after being repeatedly washed and scraped across burnt eggs and washed again... Does my chrome-plated pie lifter thingy count? It looks like a 'fish slice' and is spatulatesque... How about my putty knife which is currently on the kitchen windowsill, and (I confess) has been used in spatuloid maneuvers when all the other ones were dirty? And has anyone else ever used the lid of a CD case as a pancake flipper/egg easer/ meat turner? Or wrapped an old credit card in tin foil for the same purpose? 'Fess up, guys... |
