Alternative Uses for a Rubber Mallet

     A long, long time ago, hubby decided to buy a rubber mallet to bang out dents in the car. He discovered that getting to the inside of a dent on a car isn’t all that easy. That sort of repair is best left to the experts.
     So, the rubber mallet began collecting dust until one day I needed to flatten some chicken breasts. I discovered the rubber mallet was the perfect tool for the job. I moved the mallet from the garage to the kitchen.
     When we bought a deck box, we learned the rubber mallet was the perfect tool for putting the deck box together. 
     If we have a party and buy a huge bag of ice to keep the drinks cool, hubby uses the rubber mallet to break up the frozen chunks of ice into smaller cubes. 
     Our rubber mallet has seen a lot of use over the years and it is showing its age. While it never banged out a single dent on the car, it flattened a lot of chicken breasts for Chicken Piccata. Yum. 😁
