ended up buying a sandpaper library (they're only $7??) bc i need a few different grits for different purposes but between refinishing my cutting board and flattening my whetstones (think i'm just gonna use my countertop as the surface plate here) it feels like a very kitchen-centric purchase, but it helps also that i'm buying with it an 8x4 loaf pan, a wok lid, and linen spice pouches
i also bought parts to assemble an at-home soda maker... between these it all feels very kitchen butch
i've been thinking about building one of those homemade seltzer makers for years now, rly curious how much parts are on that in 2023
the ikea-esque build-at-home kit is about $230, the parts list i put together was about $150. the majority of the cost is the gas can and shipping and tax on that
nice, that's really reasonable esp compared to like, buying a $10 flat of seltzer cans at costco every week
it's also like only 60% as costly as doing the whipped cream canister thing or the sodastream thing too, I matched it out, both of those are 50 cents per liter and that thing will end up being around 30 cents
