Lil’ Bits of E’rythang
Real-Life Reviews
& Useful Finds
Around here, we are always trying something.
Some we liked.
Some, not so much.
Some things earn their keep. Some things do not. Some things surprise us, and some things make us wonder why we ever bought them in the first place.
Lil’ Bits of E’rythang is where we keep our honest notes on kitchen gadgets, tools, equipment, household helpers, DIY supplies, and things we use around the farmstead.
These are not polished showroom reviews. They are real-life notes from an un-modern little farmstead where things get cooked with, built with, repaired with, dropped, washed, tested, fought with, and sometimes replaced.
