The Little Things

I went to Wal-Mart on a whim the other night and picked up an electric tea kettle for $20. I’m in love with it. I had an electric kettle years ago, but it almost burned down my apartment because I kept forgetting to turn it off. This one cuts off automatically at exactly the right temperature. It also detaches from the heating element for easy cleaning. There's even a little gauge on the side that satisfies a desire I didn’t even know I had to know with metric precision exactly how much water I am brewing. I didn't know an appliance could make me so happy. Sometimes, it's the little things that get you through life.
