Day 88: Name that object! There is a clue in the photo to put you on the right track, although I'm willing to bet only a few of you will be able to properly identify it without an assist from Mr. Google. It is essential to making proper Mexican chocolate, and as you will observe, it has never been put to that use. I bought it years ago solely as a decorative item, intrigued by the many rings and intricate carving on the body. The loose rings serve to agitate the chocolate into a frothy, light beverage as the device is spun or plunged up and down in the cooking pan. Bonus points to anyone who can supply its Spanish appellation. Give up? It's a chocolate muddler, known in Mexico and Latin America as a molinillo ("whisk").
