I’m thankful for my Foley food mill. My old one, which I got used more than 20 years ago, finally rusted through and I couldn’t find another one. I couldn’t get a new one shipped to Canada (warranty issues, they say) and the food mills I found in the stores were garbage compared to my old trusty Foley.
I wanted one, you see, to make applesauce. Nothing beats homemade applesause and nothing works for applesauce as well as a foley food mill. No peeling, no coring, just quartering and cooking and turning the mill.
Thankfully, my youngest son found me a gently used Foley food mill on eBay and it came in the mail yesterday. I made applesauce last night and then again this afternoon.
While I’m at it, I think I’ll thank God for eBay and cheap, sweet apples, too. Oh yes, and my son.
