I never used to like grapefruit as a kid. Now, with these organic “Oro Blanco” and “Melo Gold” types, I find I like them. But I neglected to grab my mom’s old grapefruit spoons and grapefruit wedger, so I’m reduced to using a titanium spork to eat them. It works, but not too well…
Anyone know where to find those old-style grapefruit wedgers? You know, the plow-shaped ones that sliced sections so you could eat them easily? I can find the spoons online, but the old-fashioned wedgers seem to have been replaced with new gadgets I don’t really care for. If you know where to find the old ones, or have one you might part with, please leave me a comment and let me know!!

There is an insanely cheap thrift store in the small rural place where I live that really, is insanely cheap. They have all kinds of odd kitchen knicker knackers there that are 10 cents a piece, I’ll check this weekend when they’re open to see if I can find one for you.
Thank you for the reciprocal link btw, I’ve been admiring your blog for a couple of months before linking to it and it was nice to have you link back.
Best Wishes,

Thanks, Rachel!
Yeah, I like your blog — I’m enjoying reading it!
I think of all the stuff of my mom’s that I didn’t grab and wish I had really had time to go through it all — some of it was really classic old stuff you can’t get anymore. Sigh. At the time I was quite overwhelmed, though, trying to take care of everything…
