The Perfect Colander

So I've been searching for the perfect colander for the past two years. Not just any colander would do. It had to be creamy/yellow with an elegant look to it. We've seriously gone two years without one of these things since I could never find one I liked enough to buy. So I'm picky about my colanders. (I'm really not this picky about most kitchen stuff - promise.)

Then Mike surprised me today with the perfect Mother's Day gift: a sweet little colander in just the right shade of pale/creamy yellow. Apparently it already has other uses ...




Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful moms and moms-to-be! Thank you for your dedication, care, selflessness, and love toward the little ones. I hope you have a wonderful day. Think we're gonna make some pasta tomorrow ...

p.s. ... Before opening the gift, Mike told me he got me a training potty for Aaron for my Mother's Day gift. I believed him at first, of course, and was a little dumbfounded and bratty about it. "What??" I asked. "That would be a gift for Aaron -- not for me," I said, only half joking. I proceeded to tell him he needed to consult with my sister from now on for gift-giving ideas. Needless to say ... I was very pleasantly surprised when he emerged into the living room with a bag containing the highly sought-after kitchen product. Mike gets me every time. Who says men aren't good shoppers??? Love ya, Mike! Thanks for the great gift! Looks great on Aaron. ;)
