Happy Tuesday! Somewhere there's a profound analogy about having the right tool for the right job, but I'm writing this amid a food coma, so I'll get to the point. I recently bought a potato ricer to help make smoother and more consistent mashed potatoes. IT IS AMAZING. I don't have the strongest of wrists, so I've had challenges mashing potatoes. Now with this contraption, it allows me to have a faster and easier time making food, and less effort needed for labor.
Unlike cold opens on MacGyver, my intro has nothing to do with the main content. Today's Teeny Tuesday is an 11x10 grid with standard symmetry. There are a few food related words/clues in the crossword, so I'm not sorry if you get a wee bit hungry while solving. :)
