JIGGUMBOB
It's a thingamabob; a gadget; a whatsit; a gewgaw. Something few people use or recognise. An item of obscurity and forgettable name or title.
I can't remember the last time I used this jiggumbob. It is meant to make buttering corn on the cob easier. Now that I think of it, I can't remember the last time I had corn on the cob! however it has been in my drawer for literally decades!
Almost a museum piece now. I have never seen this thingamajib before. We are getting wonderful corn on the cob right now at our farmers’ market, so we eat quite a bit.
I've seen them- but we are the lazy sort and just roll it over a stick of butter as is or use a knife to spread a pat along the section we're eating. I love corn on the cob- but had to cut back on it this year- for a while- with the AIP diet that says "no grains". I can now have a small piece once in a while so I'm happy about that! Nice shot!
I just slather the butter on myself with a knife. often it melts into the plate so I just roll the corner around in the melted butter. Good photo for the challenge and you almost got by without taking a picture this month.
We all have the odd kitchen bits and bobs that we thought we just had to have! I’m glad you told us what this is. We too have not had corn on the cob in too long.
@corinnec Thanks Corinne I like it that way too @eudora tht is probably why I still have this one Diane @wakelys I figured it would be of interest to some people @beverley365 the story of my life Beverly and thanks for the follow @phil_howcroft super kind of you to say Phil @joansmor sometimes the butter falls off the knife and that is why this is a good idea @shutterbug49 I have to confess this is making me want some and fresh from the farmer's market sounds divine @olivetreeann rolling it ovet the butter works well also but I have trouble keeping it on the knife. Glad you can enjoy the occasional ear now and thanks Ann @randystreat I couldn't forsake the pigword could I ?! rolling it around on the plate in the melted butter is usually my default plan. Thanks Kathy @mcsiegle I have been know to do that alos Mary @lesip Just one more thing we have in common! I love it too but have cut back a lot since my heart surgery a few years ago @louannwarren I agree everyone has something that fits the criteria @kjarn I figured the butter would be of interest to some @ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana I thinkn it worked better than the butter meliting off of the knife @jacqbb so many weird things right? thanks Jacqueline @darchibald glad you like it Dave how are you feeling?
