I thought Gifford employed people in El Salvador....?
I found a tiny black thread on the white part of my sock today... I demand some 10 year old Chinese slave girl be beaten! //sarc
Oh how much fun kitchen gadgets are. Take the expensive hand crank spaghetti roller, got one but never made food with it, I use it to roll out modeling clay of various thicknesses for projects.
For Valentines day Hubby brought me besides a Chocolate heart, 4 books I had on my buy list and a TITAN. Strange thing to give a wife you think but for $20.00 these 2 little gadgets have replaced two shelves in the pantry of useless kitchen aids that I may use once every 3 years. I cleared out all that stuff, toaster ovens to salad shooters, and emptied one draw of every kind of peeler, shredder and small graters that are difficult to work. Down to Good Will with 2 big boxes of stuff I just had to have at the time.
I was just about to throw out those corn on the cob holders when I got a brain storm, these can be used to hold vegetables when they are being peeled so there will be no worry about nicking a finger or knuckles. works great holding hard cheese also.
Now I am looking at my pizza cutter that I never use, the turkey baster I use once a year, there must be dozens of uses for these seldom or never used items.
I found 2 whisks, why 2 who knows but one went to the shed to stir up paint.
I found 3 knife sharpeners, and enough knives collected over the years to shame an assassin. I found some things in the back, electric carving knifes, hand crank apple peelers and a brand new Fry Daddy I had never used and forgotten it was there.
Allot of this stuff are gifts but enough is enough. I do not want or need a bread maker, 14 spatulas, 6 soup spoons, those gizmo's that scramble an egg in its shell, double Pans for omelets, juicers, or a dehydrator's how often do I use one of them.?
40 years of collecting from cast iron that was great grandmas to the stuff I just had to have at the time has over run my kitchen.
75% of this stuff is going to be gone, just us two, if company comes for dinner, I will order out Chinese. What do I do now with all this extra space.? Why I hear there is a big sale at the Kitchen Store at the mall next week, it won't hurt to just LOOK.
