Question of the day: What’s the ultimate nostalgic kitchen tool? Rolling pin? Ball whisk? Piping cloth?

Votes in Scandoland are for the rolling pin today. It may be more a bakers than cooks tool. Or is it…?

Mrs J will stop right now before this ends up another joke about dough. All-dough…. Oops. Too late.

For Mrs J the rolling pin is a comedic prop from countless 20th century movies and comic strips where it’s the housewife’s final argument.

The rolling pin was in action today preparing gingerbread cookies.

This is a pig, made by Mrs J.

She’s very proud of this pig. It’s nice and thin. Almost healthy. Kind of.

This is a heart made by Mrs B.

It’s a “knäckebröd” heart. Major Scando bonus points!

Also, today Mrs J saw the first snow of the year. It was a case of now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t. But it was snow, none the less!
