 Sometimes I don’t plan and I just throw dinner together from what’s lying around the house. (I had to think about that; the whole laying/lying thing gets me every time.) I pride myself on being able to whip a meal up from whatever is available, but honestly some of those impromptu meals have been disappointing. Other […]  I can’t believe I’ve never written a post about my favorite kitchen tools. You might think I have a kitchen jammed with tools, gadgets and assorted doo dads but my favorite kitchen tools are simple and get lots of use. I am not a fan of single purpose tools, so […]  At the end of every December I choose my word for the year to come. My methods for finding my word vary. I ponder, I do stupid quizzes on Face Book, I happen upon them. This is the sort of thing that can’t be forced, and is a cross between very important, and completely insignificant.

Rena McDaniel - I love my kitchen gadgets, but I had forgotten about the plastic wrap. I used to use it all the time when my husband was a butcher. I’ll have to be on the lookout for that one.
Anna Rosenblum Palmer - Ah…someone else who dislikes the uni tasker. I would add my silpat sheet pan liners. The only real non stick thing on eart. And my one good chefs knife. Plus my soda stream but that is more bar ware. Another post for you?
Peggy Gilbey - Interesting choices Nancy, I couldn’t do without tongs, and wooden spoons. Home Goods is a great place to pick up inexpensive spatulas.
David - I liked to try different kitchen tools at my home so this is really helpful post to know about different kitchen tools. Thanks
