I saw my neighbor about to throw this in the bin, so I asked her if I could have it, and she gave it to me. The reason why she was throwing it because she didn’t know what it was for. I don’t either, but I took it anyway.

This mystery gadget now sits on my counter like a challenge from the culinary universe. Maybe one day I’ll discover its true purpose. Maybe I’ll invent a new one. Either way, it’s part of the kitchen now, a reminder that inspiration often comes from the most unexpected places.

My neighbor may not have needed it, but I’m glad I saved it. After all, the best cooking stories aren’t just about food—they’re about curiosity, resourcefulness, and the delightful surprises that come when you say, “Sure, I’ll take it.”

And who knows?
This odd little tool might just be the secret ingredient in my next recipe.
