A while ago, when cleaning under the kitchen sink, including the little tip-in tray that we have immediately in front of the basin which contains, the tray contains, not the basin contains, a sponge, a razor blade, and sometimes the rubber complete water stop for the sink, a while ago when cleaning out<\/em> things from below the sink or that tray, I threw out a little brush like this. I thought it came with some set of bottle cleaners, perhaps baby bottle cleaners, perhaps a brush to clean the interior of the nipples–having such a brush some fifteen years after my boys stopped drinking from baby bottles would be fairly normal for the Noggle household, and by Noggle household I mean me<\/em> who doesn’t like to throw anything away even though I don’t have an immediate use for it.<\/p>\n At any rate, I recently discarded a brush like this–or thought<\/em> about discarding it but threw it into one of the bins of cleaning tools under the sink but not the tray.<\/p>\n I also recently discarded a baster because the baster, which my beautiful wife uses pretty exclusively to draw the grease from pans of meatloaf, developed a crack which limited its efficacy. It might have developed this crack because I have, on occasion, tried to jam the corner of a dish cloth into it. Once or twice, it might have made its way to the dishwasher. All the while, a brush that might well have come with it languished in the cabinet.<\/p>\n So I’m posting this here, gentle reader, as this blog is my artificial memory assistance, and I trust that it will help me remember what that little brush is for the next time my wife makes meatloaf.<\/p>\n Assuming, of course, I happen upon this post whilst the meatloaf is in the oven. So perhaps all is vanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A while ago, when cleaning under the kitchen sink, including the little tip-in tray that we have immediately in front of the basin which contains, the tray contains, not the basin contains, a sponge, a razor blade, and sometimes the rubber complete water stop for the sink, a while ago when cleaning out things from […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3334,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33137"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33138,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33137\/revisions\/33138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
