Bling out your countertop.
It’s big. It’s gold. It looks like a giant can.
It is, in fact, a biscuit tin. Which sounds ever so much more dignified than “cookie jar,” doesn’t it? I think my new affectation will be calling cookie jars “biscuit tins.”
Because when was the last time you bought your countertop a nice piece of jewelery? (From The Future Perfect.) And after all your countertop has done for you. I mean, really.
I spent months and months looking for just the right large-mouth canister to put on the counter between the kitchen and the family room where we go out the side door. I finally found a large white metal one which is supposed to be used for storing coffee or tea.
Why did I want it? So that the doggie treats could be dispensed from something other than a giant baggy. It even has a frame for a slip-in label, so I put in the words “Woof Woof”.
In theory I like this, but I think it would be indistinguishable from all the other empty, not-yet-recycled cans on my kitchen counters.
