Runaway meatball

Strider posing with new fixed spatula

Our good spatula broke in two. I tried gluing it once, but it didn't hold for long.

It works okay like this...but we lost a pastured beef meatball last week due to it separating.

Today I got lucky with drilling a hole through both the plastic and metal and securing it with some found hardware. With any luck this will put an end to any future meatball casualties.

Such a tragic end to a poor little meatball with such untapped potential. A moment of silence, please.

Your cat doesn't seem so impressed with your efforts. The expression on it's face cracks me up!
