Small Pleasures

I stopped by my favorite hardware store today, Koontz Hardware in West Hollywood. They didn’t have what I was looking for (tin boxes that I could use for gifts of cookies), but they did have something I’ve really wanted. A replacement dough blade for my Cuisinart food processor. Even the internet didn’t have that.

Finding a tiny replacement part that suddenly brings a somewhat large and expensive appliance back to full working order is one of those delightful small pleasures of life…
