Too nice for cheese

K gave J this cheese grater for Christmas. I think it is far too nice to get dirty with cheese, and that it should be used for jewelry. (Also I am not sure how you wash it without ruining the finish.)

Also, we have ants. Angry ants, that are looking everywhere for the food we put away. (when J got up this morning, they were licking the outside of the powdered sugar canister). On the other hand, the kitchen is super clean.
