I love this:

Like Vikings (tiny or awesome green jersey wearing), it would not be out of place in the kitchen. (Ok, Thor Hushovd would be thrillingly out of place in my kitchen.)

I’d definitely take a set of those wooden vikings. The cats would get them just about anywhere I put them. But, I don’t care.

As for my wishlist:

1) KitchenAid icecream maker. I already have a Cuisinart, but I just like the idea of the KitchenAid. I’d settle for an extra bowl for the Cuisinart.
2) A bigger kitchen. 10×10 is nice — but I want a kitchen that lets me be social while I’m cooking. Preferably one with reasonable storage space. Pleez.
3) A Vitamix. They do everything. And my blender sux.
4) A meat grinder with sausage attachment. Cuz I can’t think of anything kewler than being able to make my own snausages!

Kaitlynsage- Friday was my birthday, too. I got a new Cuisinart immersion blender. My old Braun exploded in a rather spectacular manner a couple of months ago and I’ve been slightly handicapped without it… It’s good to have my right hand back.

Happy birthday!

My wish list:

1) An awesome ice cream maker. This one would do nicely. http://tinyurl.com/msn646
2) A Le Creuset cast-iron dutch oven (the big 13-quart mofo) & matching skillet, in Kiwi green. I like green.
3) An Aga range. This one is so pretty. http://tinyurl.com/n5twkc
4) Gas to run the Aga.
5) A new kitchen to hold all this crap, ‘cos mine is already overloaded. Oh, and a new house with a gas line, since the arses who built my condo didn’t think of it, the unimaginative dickwads. Might as well dream big, unless someone knows the lottery numbers for this Friday’s Super 7…

Hope you feel better soon, Michelle!

Like so many of you, I require a new food processor. The one that I had shit the bed, which is fine with me because it had one of those impossible containers that took twenty minutes and as many f words to get connected right. I strongly desire the kitchen aid 12 cup martha stewart blue one from macy’s. Strong hints will be thrown at husband for the next few weeks for my birthday is in the beginning of September. Cross your fingers for me.

I don’t work in an office. In fact, not one single job I’ve ever had in my whole life has involved me working in an office.

I want a real stove, with a badass hood over it. A whole new kitchen, really.

The same shit: le creuset dutch oven- a huge one! In Carribean blue. A food processor so I don’t have to resort to chopping shit tons of herbs by hand. Oh, and a la cornue stove: http://www.lacornue.com/gb/cornuchef_109.html with a kitchen large enough to put it in.

I thought that spacepen thing was a myth? Not the pen itself (I had one at one point, it’s a nice pen I guess..) but the whole Russians-used-a-pencil thing. I thought that neither of them used pencils…something about the lead breaking, or shavings in the air or something?

Oh there we go. Snopes confirms: http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.asp

similar to the above couple of commenters:

a le creuset dutch oven, a kickass fo-pro, a magic box (bag?) full of baking pans of every conceivable shape and size (nice heavy ones), a set of stainless steel biscuit cutters that are scalloped on one side and smooth on the other (seriously, I have been looking for this forever. It must exist somewhere!)

A stand mixer. A food mill. A fine mesh strainer. White dishes so nice that they glow. A cast iron skillet. A magical self-cleaning spice grinder so I don’t have to clean out my coffee grinder and risk cross contamination of my morning jolt (I like cumin, but not that much)

Oh and a dishwasher.

Is that everything? Well, ask me again in a few hours, I’m sure I’ll have thought of more.

I find this post perfectly in line with the celebration of the space program to the moon, for without NASA technology, how could human beings have ever envisioned something so simple and advanced as the fo’ moldy sandwich bag? And yet it reminds me: the Russians just used a pencil.
