The Squid

Just a quick moment to talk about my good friend, the Squid.

I love my squid whisk. Forget that the squid-y tentacles get tangled up with each other and any other utensil within reach. Ignore the fact that you would never actually want a squid near your baked goods if it was actually alive. Never mind that they do tend to fall apart, usually starting with the eyes - though finding a plastic squid eye in your food is usually more hilarious than it is unnerving.

The Squid is simply fantastic. He gets the job done, and he does it with flair. Eggs, marinades, batter, sauces - whatever needs whisking, he's your guy. I don't know why the Squid is so much better than a regular whisk, but it is. Is it the fact that the tentacles have distinct ends rather than the continuous balloon whisk? Is it the little whirlies at the end of the tentacles? Is it something altogether more mysterious? Whatever it is, the Squid's not telling.
