Synergy Three

When in the same week you get a big bag of oranges from two buddies and an orange peeler from another, you are tempted to believe they are in cahoots. However, Cousin J-Yah and Cookiecrumb/Cranky haven't met yet - although I think they'll like each other once they do.

I guess it's just kismet.

This zippy little peeler with the corny name of Citrus Appeal has a blade on the bottom, opposite the finger ring, that slices right through the orange rind, right down to the sections, without cutting the membranes. The whole thing is tiny - about an inch long - so not difficult to store as are so many kitchen gadgets. And it's just the right color!

So, what with the carrots, the oranges and the peeler, true synergy is developing this week in my kitchen!
