Kitchen Loves

I like to cook. But I LOVE kitchen gadgets. I used to sell Pampered Chef (or still do?? not sure of my status these days) and I would drool over the catalogs. Thinking of all the ways I would use this tool or that stone. For the most part, I do use the products on a daily basis, especially my stones. I would recommend the products, and not just because I received commission on what people ordered. But there is a special place in my heart for all my wonderous gadgets.

My most favorite being my bread maker. I envy anyone who can create bread on their own, I mean, besides pouring all the ingredients into a machine and pushing some buttons. I absolutely love the smell of bread baking, it just makes me want to cook!! I try to have some baking when we have guests, it makes the house feel so inviting, even if it is in a big white machine. I have a special basket with a small stone in the bottom to keep my bread warm and I always wrap it in a towel.

My newest love, is a pasta maker. Now before you think I have spent my (I mean my husbands, who are we kidding, I stay home remember??) weekly paycheck on this, it is a small hand crank one that only came with one attachment, so far ;) . I can make fettuccine and spaghetti. I can not wait to try it out. I bought extra flour at the store today and some more eggs. Ooohhh, I am excited!!

Since I haven't actually made any yet, here is a picture of my latest bread machine miracle to drool over. That is unless you make your own, then this is probably old hat to you!!

A good bye poem

Good bye

Good Ridance

I will mourn you none

You brought snow

10 inches in total

I would have liked none

You brought cloudy skies

Sun seen rarely
