Goofy Gadget Award Winner

I walked in and out of Williams Sonoma the other day. So many delightful things to wish for: perfect crystal martini glasses and tumblers. An $8,600 La Cornue stove. Clean dish towels. The gadget that sent me right out again, however, is above. It's called a meatball grill basket. (Better picture here). I'm afraid I may get some flack for this one: I may be restless but I'm not nuts. Want meatballs? You go through all that work of mixing, seasoning, then breading? Then cook them on the stove, in a skillet, so the breading is nice and brown. Or are you really just making round hamburger patties? Bleh.
