Will be good gift for @miraclewhipers… Shhh! don’t tell her!
She’s been in China since August and she leaves China tomorrow… or maybe later today? Not sure… she said “noon tomorrow” at 11:08 PM EST yesterday, which means it was 12:08 PM tomorrow there, so maybe she meant the day after tomorrow there. Regardless, I believe she’ll get back about two hours before she leaves. Gotta love faster than light travel.
@RiotDemon I agree, I would die from this! I’d spill the beans! I was ticked till I could not breathe by my older siblings. And my feet! Ahhh! No one dares tickle me because of the fear on my face and a panic attack beginning.
@Calabama I was thirty before someone could finally massage my feet and not make me want to kick them.
Feet and armpits are a no tickle zone. I can survive being tickled elsewhere on my body, those place don’t make me want to pee my pants or get violent, lol.
@UncleVinny Same… Especially when I can buy one for $10 including prime shipping… Would have a teensy bit of regret not getting a 2nd one I didn’t really need for $2 more, but not for $7…
@sligett What do you use them for in the shop? Or do you mean woodworking shop? When I hear shop, I think of a place to repair things like cars or trains or buses.
@hchavers that’s really what they’re for. Good zest without getting the bitter pith. It will also very finely grate hard cheese like parmesan. The teeth are very small.
@djslack Add one more vote for these micro planers/zesters. If one only uses it for one thing–shredding hard Parmesan cheese into billowy clouds of shredded goodness–one has done well.
@dtwsportsfan I think it all has to do with the cost of shipping. Wouldn’t be worth it to them to sell just one probably to the point of them losing money.
VMP here and I’ve been thinking about getting a new Microplane grater so I may as well give this a go. My old Microplane just doesn’t grate Parmesan cheese as well as it used to. How bad could this be?
@mediocrebot Theyy’rrre Grate! I was just kvetching the other night about having to grate lime peel and ginger without my Microplane. Now I’ll have a travel version!
There’s an urban myth that says Alton Brown always carries a nutmeg and a grater with him, as he loves fresh ground nutmeg so much.
I don’t know about the truth of it, but it led me to buy some whole nutmeg and, freshly grated, it is wonderful stuff!
@sammydog01@therealjrn
Were these shipped from the Meh warehouse? If they weren’t, mine has taken a huge wrong turn. It’s now at the Queens NY Regional PO distribution facility.
@Barney Same here. These graters are getting their frequent flier miles in… They left Texas and en route to Southern California made a stop in Queens. That’s cold.
@therealjrn But… But… But… How did you get yours so soon if mine and @submariner’s are sitting in Queens? Is there something you would like to tell the class?
Edit: @therealjrn I hope to get to the post office tomorrow. I will send you the tracking number.
@Barney I do not know Barn. But they were delivered by the USPS. Actually, they were USPS’s from the start. All the way from Queens. Pretty cool fridge magnets too!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ETA: Thank you!
Dear meh. Today I opened my mailbox to the overwhelming scent of cinnamon. Upon further inspection, the smell was coming from an elongated package from meh.
At this point, I had to consider the possibility that meh had sent me some sort of seasonal incense in error, despite the fact I have never seen meh offer incense for sale.
When I got back to my apartment and opened the package, I did not find a loose box of ground cinnamon, but instead found these graters.

Oh good. A pair of knuckle scrapers.
Saw the picture and thought they were lightsabers.
@awk maybe closer to lightdaggers?
That’s not the way I expected the baby arm to be used.
@Willijs3
/giphy that’s what she said
Baby ar… aaagh!
Almost missed the baby arm in the pic. Looked like coconuts at first. Good job.
@cengland0 Mmmm… Coconut baby arm!
@cengland0 Freaks me out that it’s lit from the wrong side. Looks like the back side of a hollow, sliced-in-half baby arm … thing.
Shoulda flipped it around.
@TheFLP
Kinda bet they did that deliberately.
You call this a cheese grater. Mitch Hedberg calls this a sponge ruiner.
Looks a lot like my Microplane zester, which has been a great piece of equipment. If this performs the same, it’s a great deal.
@djslack i think of that joke every time i wash a grater. /wistful sigh
Oh grate, another item no one needs two of.
@Kerig3 Dude… you need some friends… at least one… so you can give things away and get things in return.
@Kerig3 Christmas is coming stock up now.
Andrew Deiss Gray(ter)

Got some to smooth my prints on my 3d printers.
How well do these work on feet?
@SkyyPunk I DON’T WANT TO KNOW THAT
@TheFLP
Avoid YouTube then.
@f00l That’s easy.
I kind of want one. But I kind of don’t want two. Decisions.
@sammydog01 Keep one in your car’s glove compartment so you can grate on the go.
Does that offer say, on sale at Amazon, for 20 fucking UK £?
At Amazon.co.uk perhaps?
These are so exclusive and snooty that they are not sold on our regular Amazon Dot Com?
Or what?
Like this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00WGSYA46/?tag=meh0ec-20
Huh. Wtf.
@f00l Search on Amazon (or anywhere) for Microplane.
@sligett
Yeah but they didn’t link to that.
How exotic of them.
I wonder if the Amazon.co.uk listing includes the option of handles in alternative colours?
On the Amazon site native to “The Greatest Country On God’s Green Earth”, you can go for black, green, or red. And pay in US Bucks!
@f00l “This item does not ship to the United States”
@magic_cave
Oh, no! Of course not! I’m sure it’s much too fancy for that!
@f00l What’s the currency conversion? (to determine value)
@rtjhnstn
I think about $1.38 to £1.
Plus fees.
One for zesting, the other for removing calcouses from your heal. Probably should keep them in separate drawers
@hafner It’s all just cheese.
@hafner It’d easier if they were color coded.
This rubs me the wrong way. Kinda grates my nerves.
Don’t get Testy get Zesty. Goodness Meh what have you made me do I’ve become corny.
@bleedmichigan careful not to zest any testes.
@UncleVinny oh my!
Zest. That is all.
@meshneiarin The other zesters are just amateurs.

@ciabelle It’s £10, not $10. Current conversion rate is £1 to $1.35.
@narfcake It’s $9.98 USD: https://smile.amazon.com/Deiss-Citrus-Zester-Cheese-Grater/dp/B0738C7RXF
Are these £20 or $20 on Amazon? Methinks it’s $20.
@norman8 yeah, looks like £9.98
@norman8
The link goes to the UK site.
@Pantheist The Amazon link is for one, Meh sale is for two.
@cengland0 Ah, right.
I’d buy one for 7 or 8 bucks, but I have no use for two
@Pantheist gift one to a cook in your life - they’re awesome. This is a great price.
The story notes from meh are hilarious.
I don’t always zest but when I do I zest with Deiss while drinking a cold Dos Equis served to me by Chuck Norris.
Not going to pester, I’m not Uncle Fester. Glad it’s not soap. In for 1.
Those are some mighty fine zesters. Mighty fine indeed.
That was intentional exceptionally dry humor, right?

In hindsight, I think I over did it ordering two two-packs, but I need new Microplanes both in the shop and in the kitchen.
Oh well, Christmas is coming.
@sligett What do you use them for in the shop? Or do you mean woodworking shop? When I hear shop, I think of a place to repair things like cars or trains or buses.
Looks a’peeling to me. In for one set, BagNabit…
Do they work on Orange or Lemon Zest? No picture. No mention in the comments.
@hchavers that’s really what they’re for. Good zest without getting the bitter pith. It will also very finely grate hard cheese like parmesan. The teeth are very small.

Just another grate deal on meh
@dtwsportsfan Make America grate again?
(Someone had to say it, right?)
@sligett
Make Grater Grate Agrin.
Hey I just noticed it was cordless, so what size batteries and how many does it take.
@dtwsportsfan Is there an AC adapter?
@magic_cave
Prob have to go to www.amazon.co.jp for that.
Vmp members should be allowed to buy any 2 pack item for 60% off but only get one of the items, so one of these zester would only cost a vmp 8bucks.
@dtwsportsfan I think it all has to do with the cost of shipping. Wouldn’t be worth it to them to sell just one probably to the point of them losing money.
@cengland0 … so the purpose is to make a buck or two and not to simply clear out the warehouse?
I think I’ll wait for a Bluetooth model.
VMP here and I’ve been thinking about getting a new Microplane grater so I may as well give this a go. My old Microplane just doesn’t grate Parmesan cheese as well as it used to. How bad could this be?

I believe I heard that on his show.
This is nutmeg.
@wew Love me some Alton Brown. No day I wanna go to his show/tour.
@Targaryen do it! He does great live shows!
I missed out on his last tour but I’m keeping an eye out for the next one.
again. tempted, but after shipping, nawwwwwwwh
@Yoda_Daenerys again, VMP to the rescue
Dammit… spent the day driving yesterday, so didn’t get around to checking meh… and for once it was something I would have ordered. sigh
Mine came in today’s afternoon post. They seem very well made. Can somebody go get me some nutmeg?
