Queen of Kitchen Gadjets
I know I've written about my love for gadjets especially kitchen ones. I've spent a lot of money on stuff that turned out to be crap but on the other hand I have some fabulous tools in my kitchen. Now that I'm retired I also have the biggest and best kitchen I've ever had so I'm feeling GREEAATT.Because of alga rhythms I'm targeted with media advertising with things like "The best kitchen tools to own" or the worst. I've so been enjoying opening these articles up to discover that I own almost everything they advertise. Damn that feels good. I spent a lot of my life wishing I had what is advertised now it is a good feeling to not have to wish.
Before the computer world took over I used to love to go into Kitchen stores, wander around and wish. At some point Mom told me that was what my Dad used to love to do too. I like that feeling also.
For Thanksgiving I'm driving north about a 100 miles to stay with my son for a few days and I'll be spending a lot of time preparing his favorite dishes to fill the trunk with. Another thing I love is my Grandson loves to eat but his Mom mostly cooks authentic Chinese dishes so many of my traditional dishes are new to him and he LOVES them all. I love feeding my son's family and eating their cooking which is so very different from mine.
Hope everyone has a good holidays coming to them.

My mum used to drive me crazy giving me kitchen gadgets everytime she visited. I suspect she passed on the ones which were at the "worst tools to own" end of the spectrum, but a few of them were good enough for me to get the bug.
Now I find kitchen gadgets in charity shops myself and pass them on to my daughter, or even my grandchildren. The kids eat so many apples since I gave them an all in one corer and slicer. I originally got it for my daughter, she gave it back to me and now it's finally being loved in the right little hands.
for all.
At some point, I hope you will consider doing a blog on the kitchen items to avoid,
saving the rest of us discovering this the hard way.
You'll be happy to know that my sister just got her first PC based on my recommendation. I use mine all the time... you were raving about yours since the MD days.
Jim before you buy something just email me and ask. I don't remember all my failures but I sure do my successes which I'm much more apt to write about.
Jac I'm going to try and write the recipe to your blog if I can find it again. I pretty much go by taste as I go.
Just let it flow from the soul.
