Kitchen Appliances (part II)

I'm in love with a few things in my kitchen today.

First thing. My new measuring cup. (Thanks Marianne!)

Can you see how clever it is? You can read it from the side AND the top. I love that.

My Mixmaster. How easy is one of these things to operate to mix ingredients? And lastly, my dishwasher.Do I have to explain why? I love the fact that now when I bake, it doesn't matter how many utensils, bowls, cups etc., I use, because I don't have to wash them.

I'm in love with those items today.

How about you?

You Like?

I saw this Pot Holder in my local Coles the other day. I thought it was pretty 'kitch'...

...and I thought it was about time I threw out the last one I bought in the Year 2000!

Food Photos

I got some food photos I have taken, enlarged yesterday to 6x8s and I might get a few more done. I figure I will frame them and put them on a wall in my new kitchen (which we move into in 3 weeks time today!)

I got these ones enlarged...


Do you like them? Do you think there are other food photos I have on this blog worthy of blowing up and framing? Or do you think it is altogether a silly idea?

Kitchen Appliances

Is there a piece of Kitchen equipment you can't live without? Besides the oven and sink of course. That goes without saying. But an appliance?

Mine is (and has been for ages), my Bamix. I couldn't live without it as I use it often. It was an engagement present from my sister and her partner, four years ago. It came with a few attachments so I can whip, beat, mix etc., The best attachment is the one which works like a mini food processor. I always make my fresh breadcrumbs using this attachment. Always. If only it was a bit bigger I'd be happy, but in the meanwhile it does the trick.

Yes, the next appliance I would like is a food processor.

What appliance would you like? But would you use it?

The Heart Of The Home

We all know the heart of any home is usually the kitchen. If you read my other blog you will know that we bought a new home this week, but we don't get to move into it until mid-March. Pity. I can't wait to do all my baking and cooking in my new kitchen...

The windows on the side, act as a servery to the outdoor balcony which will be handy as we tend to eat a lot outside. I love the fact there is lots of cupboards and lots of bench space. Big enough for me to be able to (hopefully) make my own pasta!

The only thing our new kitchen lacks is a dishwasher which is on our 'to buy list'... We're not too keen on the mismatched drawers which are a dark colour compared to the rest of the cupboards. Lyndon thinks he will get them changed over.

What things do you like about your kitchen? What things don't you like about your kitchen? Is there anything you would change?
