RE: Old Question of the Week

I knew I was taking too long to think out my kitchen utensil answer. Now there's a new QOTW! But before I take a stab at an answer to the new question, here's my answer to the old one:

An electric mixer.

Why? Because I can get some jobs done quick (you should see how fast I can unload a dishwasher or change a dirty diaper). Because I get bogged down when a task gets too thick (like bread dough), and go r-e-a-l-l-y slowly (like my thesis, which, thankfully, is picking up some steam). Because I like to have a lot of tools at my disposal (the whipping tools, the beating tools, the blending tools--it was sounding a little like a torture inventory for a second there) like my family, my friends, my ward, etc. And because I like electricity!
