This year I got a tomatoe sauce dispenser in the shape of a red
plastic tomato, as once graced the tables of thousands of greasy
spoons before impregnable sachets were imposed on us.

She is quite taken with the large bright red oven gloves I gave her.
Wether that will last when I also present her with the leather apron
