Ron and I were clearing up after dinner recently, and I made the mistake of bending over to put some dishes in the dishwasher. WHACK! I felt a sting on my bottom, then another, then a flurry of them. They weren't especially painful but I did feel some discomfort.
I straightened up, turned around and looked at Ron who had an innocent look on his face and nothing in his hands.
"What did you swat me with?" I asked. It hadn't felt familiar.
"This," he pointed to the gloves that sat on the counter. He had used them to remove his delicious homemade scalloped potatoes from the oven half ah hour earlier. "The Love Glove."
Yeah, I guess that is his way of expressing love, and I'm glad of it. But for those of you who aren't familiar with this handy kitchen aid, did you know that Ove Gloves are made of 86% Nomex, which is a flame resistant material developed by DuPont in the 60's and used by fire fighters the world over. The other 14% is Kevlar. Yes, the stuff used to make body armour!
The glove is soft and flexible, and the non-slip ridges might or might not have added to its effectiveness; I'm not sure. But it's one heavy-duty spanking implement!
