"Perfect! The boy ruins my drill motor chuck, mashes up the blades of the scissors, and how much do you wanna bet that he didn't bother to wash the scissor handles, so the mousse is now also worthless! Are you certain he isn't the outcome of an affair with one of those firefighter clowns?!"

You can add more air to the mix by increasing the shearing action of the mixing tool.

''No. I've experimented with this mousse recipe at least a dozen timies and never had any oily after-taste in MY mixes...''
