Farewell, my life companion. I can't imagine living without you, but I know I have to.

We went through a lot together. We did a lot together.
You were my first.

We moved in together after I graduated in 1991, found a real job, and signed the lease for my first apartment. Although there were others over the years, you didn't seem to mind - and I always came back to you. You were always the best.

Even when I'm eventually ready to move on, and another takes your place - it won't be the same.

Now, off to the store to buy a replacement garlic press.

You know, you scared the shit out of me for a minute there.

Don't do that.

I mean it; don't do that. Lots of legitimately bad things happen during the holiday season.

Gosh I thought it was your computer!

Poor Garlic Press. He was the same age as Harri.

Or, of course, you *could* mince your garlic with a knife....

I was so wrong about you!

I thought you were ABOVE the whole "HA-HA-made-ya-look" thing...

Oh, and if you get a Rosle, insist they throw in the tires at no extra charge.

Nope. I'm not afraid to play in that low humor pool.

This was the very first kitchen tool I bought when I moved out, though. It even pre-dates my bread pans.
I may have only had it for 13 years but it saw at least 20 years' worth of use.

I want to get one of those new garlic twists. They look ideal.

It doesn't look very sturdy, though.
