hi there. I just came over here from filth-wizardry (don't you LOVE her site!!!) and have enjoyed reading these past 5 or 6 posts. And sidenote -- love the play on words that is your blog title!!! Anyway, i REALLY need to get back to what i should be doing but would love to keep reading here all afternoon.
Ingenious way to reuse a tank top as a potty seat cover! Love the bike helmet fix. And on and on.
One quick question about these potholders: how exactly are they used? I've never seen this shape before and I'm intrigued when you saw they're so convenient. (I've subscribed so will receive any comment you post here...)
I guess these potholders are more of an Italian style. I don't remember ever having seen them in the States like this. I don't use them for everything, but they're great for picking up pots, for example. They make a cone, so you just put the cone around the pot handle without having to worry about having a long potholder accidentally get set on fire from the burner (which I know I've done more than once!!). And for the small handles of Italian coffee makers. I used to make fun of the ones my husband had from his pre-me days, but eventually I realized that they're actually quite handy!
The title of this blog is a bilingual play on words that probably nobody will ever get, so I may as well just explain it. The cuci cuci part is up to interpretation, either from CUCIre (sew) and CUCInare (cook) or the command "Sew, sew!" You pronounce cuci "COO-chee," so I added the English coo to make it what you say to babies while tickling them: "Coochie coochie coo!"
