Don't try this at home

Normally, one should not do what I am about to do. One should not post, in so public a place as a blog, about an item one wants for Christmas. But in this case, I don't care if I get one tied to every gift I get, and then a whole extra bag full. This is a useful item, one that one could have many of.

I have tried to be a good grad student. I have used spoons to eek out the smoothie from the bottom of the blender. I have used a spoon to stir my mac&cheese. I have done these good things.

But you have not experienced ingenuity until you have tried to figure out how to scrape the fudge from the pot into the tray without a spatula.

Dear Santa,
I would like spatulae for Christmas. Size, color, shape... doesn't matter.
Yours truly,
Me
