Important questions:

Does anybody know where I might find a miniature metal colander, about 2.5" in diameter? Amazon offers this, but it appears only to come in 3-packs, the smallest of which *may* be slightly too large. Although I suspect I could work with 3". And ideally, I think I'd prefer one in more this style... without the shiny new branding, of course.

and

If you were my card of silly little snappy barettes, where would I have put you?

Either I have nothing to say at all, or I am not saying it. Or both, I guess.

The smallest in this set (http://www.amazon.com/Progressive-CLM-3-Mini-Colander-Set/dp/B00004RDFJ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1212461831&sr=1-5) and this set (http://kitchen-dining.hsn.com/progressive-set-of-3-stainless-steel-mini-colanders_pf-284785_xp.aspx?club_id=284785&sz=&sf=&rdr=1&cm_mmc=Shopping_Engine-_Amazon-_-Kitchen-_-Progressive%20Set%20of%203%20Stainless%20Steel%20Mini%20Colanders) is 2.75". This set (http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Stainless-Colanders-STAINLESS-STEEL/dp/B000ZHVRR8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1212461860&sr=1-5) is vaguer about sizes. I'm guessing they're telling you the size of the largest in the set, but I'm not sure. I'm also uncertain of the size of this one (http://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Housewares-Inc-70336-Strawberry/dp/B000WHX7VU/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1212461860&sr=1-11) (it comes in other patterns too), but I think it's pretty small.
Otherwise, depending on how picky you're feeling or exactly what you're planning on doing with a very small colander, there are also tea strainers (http://www.amazon.com/Harold-Imports-English-Strainer-Chrome/dp/B000I1UXBW/ref=pd_sbs_hg_img_1), ornaments (http://www.amazon.com/CraftWholesale-Mini-Colander-Ornament/dp/B000UXBE7U/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1212461860&sr=1-19), and maybe doll accessories (1.25" diameter (http://www.dollhousesandmore.com/product/IM65075?meta=FRG&utm_source=GBASE&utm_medium=CPC&utm_content=&utm_campaign=))
I've also seen little kid play cooking sets at IKEA, and I think they ran towards the fairly tiny end, so it might be worth it to check there.

There is the disgustingly overflowing cooking supply store at the Columbia mall which I could be persuaded to stop by and check out for you. How many are you looking for?

[thanate.livejournal.com]

One. And bring your ruler? If it's smaller than about 2.25" then it's too small for me to use.

Not urgent, either, though. :)

Meh, it's right around the corner (where corner equals many corners and a few miles, but whatever :) . I'll pop in today or tomorrow, sometime this week anyway, and check it out.

Man, I looked at that cooking supply store once. It's like Sur la Table, minus all the stuff I might actually want and minus the helpful staff.
