It doesn't take a lot to keep me happy...
It is carrot-cake season. In other words TT is upon us. I spent some time earlier in the week grating carrot using my food processor, weighing and bagging it up, complete with orange juice and zest, and putting it in the freezer ready to make carrot cake.
But today I decided rather than taking any of that out to make the first cake, I'd just do one from scratch, as I have the time. And I decided to just grate the carrot by hand as I have a new, six sided, box grater, bought only a couple of months ago. I've used it for slicing potatoes, and used the large side for cheese, but this is the first time I'd used the medium size grating face. And ... it grates on the upstroke as well as the down stroke! You can grate carrot twice as quickly!
Now this might be normal to other people, but I've never had a grater that does this before. How neat is that? And why don't they all do it?
