I was grateful that H‑E‑B had a display of basters near the checkout for $1.98. It reminded me that mine is cracked and barely works.
Every year Thanksgiving rolls around and I go ****** I forgot this thing sucks. (Or doesn't😂) Then I forget to buy a new one.
@MrsT: I do stuff like that all of the time. I went years without an ice cream scoop. I finally bought one at the kitchen shop in the woodlands when I was out exploring there with a friend.
