The Chef gave me an electric kettle for my birthday! It replaces one that I bought in June 2005, and used between 5,000 and 6,000 times. Talk about money well spent.
The new kettle is quite spiffy. I’m looking forward to another long personal and professional association.
Electric Kettle. Bonus points for naming all of the famous writers and movie stars on the inspiration board behind the kettle and cup.
It glows!
I totally didn’t make my husband sit with me in my dark studio and watch a kettle of water come to a boil. We definitely didn’t hold hands. I am in no way weird.

*I absolutely didn’t put a cool filter on that photo of my birthday kettle. Nope. Wasn’t me.

Fantastic kettle! I’m glad you “didn’t make [your] husband sit with [you] in [your] dark studio and watch a kettle of water come to a boil” and that you “definitely didn’t hold hands.” That would be a little weird. And a little heart-warming, too. And we’ll have none of that, right?

Nope. We can have none of those things. Anyway, it doesn’t matter because they totally didn’t happen!
That sounds convincing, right?

Spiffy, indeed. Happy Birthday and hats off to your husband for giving gifts with such utility. Are you betting on 5,000 boils with the new kettle?

Thank you! The Chef (my husband) certainly knows me well.
I’d love to get 5,000 boils with this one. 5,000 glowing boils, at that!

A SEE-THROUGH, GLOWING KETTLE?! At the risk of sounding like I am stuck in the 1980s, that is TOTALLY AWESOME!

IT IS TOTALLY AWESOME! I just made a cuppa about ten minutes ago, and it was still so much fun to watch the water boil. Kind of sad, I know.
