I JUST got a new potato masher which I totally recommend; OXO good grips version. The handle is sideways; SO MUCH EASIER to push down!

(No, I’m not getting paid for this testimonial.)
I find I interrupt people a lot lately. It’s not an impulsive thing, because I’m consciously deciding to butt in before I actually do. It’s more of a “Better-say-it-now-before-I-forget” thing. If I preface my interruption with that explanation my family is usually pretty understanding. I hope.
