The hubbinator is adamant that no hot pots or mugs should be set on our brand new granite countertops.

So for the last few weeks, we’v been using cutting boards and one trivet.

For the record, a trivet is not a tribble. One of my favorite Star Trek episodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ6LC-olw9Q

I looked at quite a few stores and even the great Zon but they usually had plastic trivets. I could just imagine the hubbinator’s reaction if the plastic melted to the countertop.

Fun times.

Either way, we found out via ebay that our trivets are now vintage kitchenware.

I found a few and had the hubbinator pick out his favorite. Next week, we shall be the proud owners of these three beauties:

A dream come true. Until next time.
