I didn’t want to have to grab the one in the kitchen every time I want to sterilize some soil in my new greenhouse.

It felt like such a random purchase. I don’t need it yet- still working on greenhouse construction- but I didn’t want to hunt one down when I do need it and have to pay 2x+ the cost.

Who knows what Christmas will be like this year. I’m fine with handmade or thrifted gifts.
