Show me your Tong da Tong Tong Tongs

I love my tongs, why didn't I buy some sooner? I have some of these type which are brilliant, they have a thingy on the top which you push in while holding them together so they are smaller in the drawer and dishwasher.

I use them for everything, but they excel in a frying pan or under the grill. Turning bacon, griddling aubergine, grilling peppers, turning chops, poking meat to see if its done, flipping pancakes, grilling sausages, bbq'ing anything.

If you don't have any, get some now, I keep telling my mum to get some but she hasn't so I'm just going to get her some anyway.

Now I want some silicone ended tongs, as sometimes they break my fishcakes when I try t turn them with the metal ended ones. These ones look cool but what colour? Red and blue would both go with my kitchen.

As I'm typing this my tea is cooking, the husband is out so I can eat what I like. Tonight that is some smashed up new potatoes and some kippers from tescos. Not gourmet food, but something he would never eat and something I crave. I may add some sweetcorn on the side just to be good! Though kippers are packed full of omega 3 so that's sorta virtuous. It's a meal that reminds me of home as my mum would sometimes make us 'yellow dinner'. That would be smoked haddock, mash and sweetcorn.

My tongs will be helping me get the kippers out the hot water. Brilliant.
