:) DH has been taking the "good" car (ie - my car) to work since I've been laid off. Today I needed to use his car to go to the chiropractor so I had to take his car. Of course it snowed/sleeted last night and would you believe it, there was no scraper in the car. Running out of time and needing to go, the only thing that came to mind was a pan scraper. Worked beautifully!
 
That would be a good thing for the kitchen brush too....longer handle, scraper on one side, brush on the other to brush off the snow/ice chips! :D But good thinking on the scraper!
 
I was quite proud of myself. :)So there you have it, a kitchen tool that doubled as a snow/ice scraper. Who knew? Sometimes you just have to make do with what you have. Has anyone else ever used a kitchen tool in an unconventional way?
