New Shiny
I finally took a photo of the new shiny that I got for Christmas. I’ve never owned a large stock pot. Now I do. Santa also filled my stocking with kitchen gadgets: two silicon spatulas, a new lighter for candles*, corn on the cob holders, a jar opener, and these silicon collapsible measuring cups that I’ve been drooling over, but haven’t purchased since I have measuring cups that work.These new cups will withstand temperatures to 650-degrees, should that ever be a requirement for a recipe, I’m set. Two of my old 1980s blue, plastic measuring cups that I’ve had since I got my first non-dorm place in Lawrence are now in the bread and whole wheat flour containers acting as scoops**. The other two were given to my children this morning to play with since they both want to anyhow when I cook. Now they have two measuring cups, three old plastic green and blue measuring spoons and an old pan that they can use to play with. They usually put a sweet potato or squash in the pan and pretend to cook.
My new template doesn’t work for my photos. If I have time soon, I’ll adjust it to work better. I think a lot of people just read my RSS feed anyhow, so maybe it doesn’t matter much.
*Santa must have gotten tired of hearing me constantly ask “Do you know where the lighter is?” We have one downstairs and one upstairs. Now we have two upstairs.
**I do all my bread baking by weight, so for that I just need to scoop flour into my bowl on the scale. My AP flour has a scoop, and now my other two main flours do as well.
It’s so shiny. I must have one.
