Need last minute gifts for the hippy or nerd in your life? Don't worry, your Fairy Dorkmother (me) is here to help.
Inexpensive - under $20
- Microplane grater. I use this thing weekly and love it!
- Lamb. This book about the "real" story of Jesus Christ, as told by his best friend Biff, made me almost pee my pants.
- At Home. This book makes dorks so very happy. It sounds lame, but it is fascinating. It's the history of how every room in a house came to be. I know, boring right? NOPE. So good.
- Cowboy and Octopus. Hands down, one of the weirdest kids books ever. Troy and I fight to read this one to Jack.
- DIY kid's food pouches. We fill this with applesauce for church. Pouring applesquish in my kid's food hole keeps him occupied.
- The Homemade Pantry. Love this cookbook so hard.
- Press Here. This kids book is so fun!
- Apple peeler/corer thing-a-ma-jing. Makes processing 2 or 200 apples a cinch.
- Pampered Chef garlic press. My mother-in-law bought this for me after using my crappy garlic press. Her garlic press is on her list of things she would grab if her house were on fire.
- Ricer. This makes the best mashed potatoes ever, as well as being a critical part of homemade gnocchi.
- Oh cast iron skillets...how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. 1, 2, 6 billion. Love my skillets!
- Water kefir starter kit. Kick your soda habit for good by making it yourself!
- Immersion blender. When mine broke, I immediately ordered another one for 2 day delivery.
- Fabulous stainless steel skillet. LOVE in so many ways.
- Dutch oven. You NEED one. I can't remember my life before Dutchie and Little Sprout came in to my life.
- Yogurt maker. This little dude has paid for itself tenfold. Well, it was a gift, so I guess it paid for itself as soon as I opened the package. I love it!
- Large crockpot. For the life of me, I can't understand why people don't have one! I use mine weekly.
- Good knives. We got a set similar to this for our wedding over 8 years ago, and I use them daily. Thanks Auntie Lulu and Uncle John!
- My pressure canner! It expanded my canning potential so much.
- Grain mill. Expensive upfront costs that pays for itself fairly quickly.
- Mixer. My life was incomplete without her in it.
- Food processor. So many of my "make it yourself" recipes start with this bad boy.
- Reel mower. Cut the gasoline addiction and get a workout at the same time. This baby has one speed - you.
Soooooo...in the comments tell me your hands down "I'd go back in a burning building to grab this" kitchen or house tool, and I'll draw a lucky winner next Wednesday at noon to win an immersion blender. US residents only; sorry other dudes!
Edited to add: PLEASE leave an email address or a blog link so that I can find you if you're the big winner!
Oddly enough, I was just contemplating this question this evening... I would grab my kitchen-aid stand mixer. Love that thing!
ReplyDeleteCarrot peeler. I'm way too lame to peel veggies any other way.
ReplyDeleteJwasser79@Yahoo.com
DeleteI'd grab my French Press coffee maker, there is no other way to have coffee
ReplyDeleteI'm with Skmeers...I bought a French press about 6 months ago, don't know how I lived without it!! Oh, and I'd definitely run back into a burning house to get my big wood cutting board, too.
ReplyDeleteMy knife set and cutting board.....I rarely cook a meal without these bad boys! (ps. Love your blog!)
ReplyDeletemy new blendtec blender. love it! smoothies with avocado seeds & fruit! it's my precious.
ReplyDeleteI too would tell the fam to save themselves i've only got enough hands to grab my kitchen aid
ReplyDeleteI would save my Grandma's Reverewear copper-bottom pots. She received the set for her wedding in 1950 and when she passed last September, the set was given to me. No way I would leave them behind! Those bad boys have been cranking out mashed potatoes for 62 years!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to comments, so I don't know what I'm doing. So here is my e-mail:
rebecca.calahan@comcast.net
My griddle! Or my Fiestaware! But I guess if its one thing, the griddle. Makes lovely pancakes, grilled cheese, and eggs, all at once. When our friends are getting married and ask what is the one thing that needs to be on the registry, we always tell them to get a griddle. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say my knife and cutting boards...I get a lil too excited every time I get to use them!! My email is kim@sfstampede.com
ReplyDeleteMine would be my cast iron skillet. I use it in the oven, on the stove top , and when we go camping.
ReplyDeleteOne of my Christmas gifts this year is a Lodge Dutch Oven. I can't wait to get it and try it out!
My KA mixer (not a Sunbeam). Love it lots.
ReplyDeleteMy 4-Qt. crock pot. It was a gift for my 18th birthday, and I still maintain it was one of the best gifts I've ever received. I use it at LEAST once a week.
ReplyDeleteI would save my grandmas cookie sheets. I'm not sure what exactly they are made of since I can't buy them anywhere but I do believe they are made directly by the baking fairy. Perfect cookies every time. Even in my p.o.c. oven that is perpetually 50 degrees too hot. Hockeymomlawton@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHm... probably my waffle iron, since it's new and I love it very much... LOL.
ReplyDelete(divasith (at) yahoo (dot) com)
Brenda~pepsibryx5@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteIf I'd just bought a nice Starbucks venti iced Americano, I'd totally go save that. Second option is this strainer on a stick thing that I got in 1995 that works really well and means I don't have to use/wash a strainer when I make pasta. Never break, strainer on a stick!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't leave without my grill pan! I love the thing. Mebaer@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI would save my rice cooker. We make rice (brown or white) at least 5 days a week and with without it I don't think I know how to make rice. I absolutely abhor minute rice... ugh!
ReplyDeletekorfors@gmail.com
Deletemy cookie sheets & cupcake tins, and the 2qt. crock pot that my mom passed down to me for my birthday.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your blog!
you can contact me through my crafting business page: https://www.facebook.com/Rl.Crafts
My kitchenaid. It's the first thing I bought when I was a "grown up" and in my own apartment. Followed closely by my crock pot. If my hubby had his way it would be our air popper popcorn popper. LOL
ReplyDeleteprobably my cast iron skillet. or my kitchen aid.
ReplyDeleteMy cast iron skillet...It was my Grandmother's and I use it alot especially to make my southern cornbread (white of course in a bowl of milk ;) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletefahnestock4 at comcast dot net
My bar board. i KNOW! A cutting board? Really?! YUSS. For just chopping up a little of this or that, or cheese, or fruit, or whatever, I probably use it twice a day, if not more.
ReplyDeletethriftynymama at g mail dot com
i was going to say my cast iron skillet but then realized that would probably make it through the fire just fine! so would have to say i would grab my food processor. i wanted one for so long and now that i have it i use it almost every day!!
ReplyDeletemy copper bottom saute pan. I got it for Christmas last year and there hasn't been a week gone by that I don't use it. Almost every day, actually. So much more versatile than a skillet.
ReplyDeletekelsey_zylstra at yahoo dot com
I would save my iPad.. Hi, I'm Bobbie and I'm addicted to all the ideas I find on the internet.
ReplyDeletebobbielaincz@gmail.com
My Vitamix...hands down. This bad boy set me back $540 (I got the dry canister as well for grain, bread crumbs, ect), but it has changed my life and saved us so much money. I mooned over them for nearly 2 years and finally bit the bullet after seeing a live presentation at the natural living expo. I would probably give a kidney just to ensure the safety of my Vitamix. ;) I use it for everything from making hot soups to frozen yogurt.
ReplyDeletemy crock pot, love that friggin thing!
ReplyDeleteIt's cookie season so I would have to say my Kitchenaid mixer! It's been a lifesaver (and an arm saver!)
ReplyDeletemidlifemusingsmom@gmail.com
DeleteCan I grab my dishwasher? Nah? ... then the vacuum packer. My man (or both of us) goes fishing for NW salmon and I vacuum pack.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to soon love my cast iron skillets so much that I would go back for them. I just reseasoned them! :D
Also, the press here book looks cool. (I was the dishwasher comment above.) Email: sophie loves peanutbutter at gmail com
ReplyDeleteI would run back in to save my good knives, my pizza stone, and possibly my stainless steel mixing bowls with the rubber grippy bottom.. (pampered chef, lol). I truely do need an immersion blender.. every time I find one at a thrift shop, I'm either broke, or it doesn't work when I try it out.. and I hate paying full price for anything, lol.. email is rainbowkitty83 (at) yahoo (dot) com
ReplyDeleteI'd be torn between my CrockPot and my food processor, but the Crock would probably win! :) mtingle(at)lifelinkint.org
ReplyDeleteUgh. Narrowing it down to one is nearly impossible. I would have to say my Pampered Chef knives and large cutting board (they go together, right?!). However, my KitchenAid mixer and CrockPot are close in line! :) nikkilgraham@gmail.com
ReplyDeletethis is tough, but i've gotta go with the simple machines - my furi knife slices and dices with the *furi* (get it? ...sorry) of a thousand blades and my effing huge butcher block cutting board. they are the workhorses of my kitchen on a daily basis, even with the vitamix and the kitchen aid around. i love them both. so. hard.
ReplyDeleteif we're going for sentimental squishiness, the teapot my mom got for a wedding gift that she passed on to me. it has frogs on it. it's bad-a.
oh, crap. andybakkum at gmail dot com. sorry!
ReplyDeleteKitchen Aid Mixer, it has made making things so much more enjoyable and easier (brennan.katie.l@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteMy dutch oven obviously!
ReplyDeleteboehnke.katie@gmail.com
My coffee maker... LOL Seriously addicted to coffee- veronicadburgess@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be my salad shooter, I don't like grating cheese or my fingers and this solves the problem and makes other things easier too.
ReplyDeleteMy good calphalon pans or kitchen aid mixer!
ReplyDeleteThis isn't your typical tool, but I'd save my baby blanket. My grandmother crocheted it while my mother was still pregnant. It's an indispensable tool around the house when it comes to comforting my four kiddos. Something about snuggling under it makes everything better, from being sick to being scared from a bad dream - and they'd definitely need some comforting after the house burned!
ReplyDeleteMy spaetzle maker. If we are limited to the kitchen. Otherwise I would grab my Fluevogs... :)
ReplyDeletec_sulek at yahoo.com
OMG - It would definitely be my immersion blender, or at least the one I had before I recently killed it. Yes, my precious blender has pureed it's last soup for me. But it served me well, and I would willingly brave a blaze to save it. A new one? Yes please, sign me up! :~) Thanks, Rebecca barnhartfarmssoapco@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would grab the set of vintage tupperware i got when my grandmother downsized her apartment! Christiana.Redman@valpo.edu
ReplyDeleteIt would be a toss up:
ReplyDeleteMy Trudeau Stress Less Can Opener (I have Inflammatory Arthritis)
My 4 Qt Crockpot (A work horse, as I am a full time student)
My 15" Cast Iron Skillet (though, like others have said. It would probably survive a fire. More likely, in better shape!)
I think the answer is my Crock Pot. It gets dinner on the table while I am in class all day!
I'd totally grab my Kitchen Aid Artisan stand mixer and my favorite Santoku(?) knife.
ReplyDeletehttp://keepingupwiththeschoens.blogspot.com/
I would grab my garlic press...every time I'm at my boyfriend's house (he doesn't have one) and I need one, I lose it a little :-) Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeletezinn@zinnrunner.com
Kitchen Aid Mixer with Pasta attachments... If I had the time, the crockpot, but but deffo save my mixer first :)
ReplyDeletecraftycat78 @ gmail.com
I have two really awesome whisks, one from France and one from Germany. They make brilliant whisks in Europe!
ReplyDeletemeagan.j.ransom[at]gmail.com
My favorite whisk is from Cutco - http://www.cutco.com/products/product.jsp?itemGroup=1718C but unfortunately it looks like it's only available in this set. Silly people! The spring part of the whisk slides up off the bottom so you can easily wash it. It gets the job done! However, now that I have an immersion blender, it doesn't get as much use as it did previously.
DeleteWell, it looks like the concensus of most is their KitchenAid Mixer. I love mine too, but I'd go for my laptop. I use it in my kitchen all the time to pull up recipes from Pinterest.....and to blog, of course!
ReplyDeleteHTTP://creationsbykitty.blogspot.com
DeleteThats kind of tough but I'd have to say my pressure canner. I know, but I went through a lot to get it. If I HAD a KitchenAid Mixer, I would definantly save that, but I'll have to say my canner. Now, my husband would save his splitter. You would think he gave birth to that thing he's so proud! I have to say, its kept him out of my hair these past couple months...lol
ReplyDeletecyndikm@windstream.net Send it on!!!
I would grab my aprons! That can be considered a tool right?? My aprons were passed down to me from my mom in law, and I have lots of memories cooking with my daughter in them, and now my son is turning 2 and he likes to put one on when he is helping me! ( the pictures will serve as blackmail in his teen years)
ReplyDeleteone of my go-to gifts for folks with kids: www.littlegreenpouch.com
ReplyDeleteI'd save the wooden cutting board that my dad made for me. It's a generous 18 X 26 and it has a heart shaped cut out on the one end. My dad and I always enjoyed cooking and wood working. We made many projects together in the kitchen and in the wood shop. karen (dot) bnbphoto (at) gmail (dot) com.
ReplyDeleteI would save the little ravioli cutter that was my grandma and is a hand me down from her. I spent many years watching her make my most favorite meal by hand using that lil wheel. Lots of sentimental value! Also, the cookbook my momma made for me that has all our family recipes in it. Everything else is replaceable, in my opinion!!
ReplyDeleteMy blender would definitely make it out okay! It's just a nondescript $20 blender with a glass container; but man, when I hit that pulse button, frozen veggies are transformed into pureed dog or bird food. Did I mention that I abuse this poor thing by not thawing those veggies first? I've starting calling it Timex, because it's been taking a licking for about 7 years now!!
ReplyDeleteI'm Laurpud@yahoo.com
My cheese grater. Seriously- it's amazing! It was crazy cheap from IKEA but it has this little container you grate into so I can pre-grate stuff and put a lid on it earlier than we need it. I loathe using plastic baggies to store grated stuff, so this was a God send.
ReplyDeleteI would actually like my kitchen aid to go up so I had an excuse to get the newer one because mine is old and the less powerful one. I would probably try to take my Henn Pottery! I don't know if I could live without it. It cleans up so well and they are hard to get now. Of course it is really heavy so I hope that I would make my husband carry it while I grabbed the kid :) alisonweller@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteKitchenaid! Although I am just recently discovering the power of the vitamix
ReplyDeleteKitchenaid! Although I am just recently discovering the power of the vitamix
ReplyDeleteThis is just to comment on Lamb. I read it several years ago and laughed OUT LOUD through most of it. I felt almost sacrilegious for laughing! What a fresh perspective.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure we "knew" each other on the nest! (Moshe momma). I would save my crockpot for sure, that puppy gets some use. my food processer just broke while I was processing pumpkins for pies (20 lbs worth to freeze) or that would be what I saved.
ReplyDeleteLmoshe8228@aol.com.
DeleteMy electric wine bottle opener. What can I say....
ReplyDeleteKitchen Aid Mixer...cast iron skillets are a close second, but I figure those beasts would survive a fire!
ReplyDeleteYou might think so, but my friend's house burned to the ground, and her cast iron skillet turned inside out due to the heat!
DeleteI've told my husband many times that in a fire I would save the four pots he brought to our marriage. They have strainers in the lids and now that I'm used to colander-less cooking, I can't go back!
ReplyDeleteProbably my knives :) leahstern at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI have this big-a$$ knife I found in an auction. It looks vaguely like a scimitar, and holds an edge like crazy! I LOVE it. I'd grab it first.....
ReplyDeletebird231 at charter.net
I've been silently reading and not commenting for months now, but I loved this list of gifts. Especially the reusable food pouch.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, if my kitchen/house was burning down, I'd go back to grab my stand mixer. It's beautiful and the best Christmas present I've ever received.
Wow...after reading all the comments I am pretty sure my husband and I and any future children we have will be forsaking all family photos, clothes, and electronic devices to grab almost my entire kitchen. I was going to say stand mixer because it gets the most use in my kitchen (i am a baker and cake decorator), but in my opinion and that of an earlier commentor...it is time for another so I'd leave that. My crock pot is the same as well..it's an older model and I could use a new one. I have a TON of cookbooks (my husband calls me a cookbook whore) so I would be throwing those bad boys in rubbermaid totes while he was lugging them out the door and then all of my cake making/impelemts of doom would have to go as well cause I have spent well over $1000 amassing the sick collection that I have today. So looks like I need at least two kids...hmmm guess I better get on that. cassie dot thurston at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteThough I have an enormous amount of stuff in my kitchen, I would either grab my Pampered Chef skillets or my green chef's knife. I use them every night and get such a sick feeling of happiness when I use them. I am not trying to push the PC products, I just love them. mbellpcc@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteOMG I almost forgot the freaking pan set that my husband was goaded into buying before we got married. I have these set of surgical steel pots from simplicity gourmet and my husband was like we'll take those...forget your damn cookbooks, but as I casually remind him...those puppies will go through a fire and the only thing that'll melt will be the handles...but my husband is standing over my shoulders making me type this...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love my pressure cooker. this is not your mother's kind with the ball that jiggles and you think it's going to explode any minute. It's amazing. Turns the toughest meat into lovely tenderness in 10 minutes. Meal in a pot - put the meat on the bottom, lay the basket on the top of it, and put your veggies in the basket - a meal in 20 min. Make amazing stew - make wonderful baked apples - you just have to have one. i have bought three as wedding gifts - they're in the higher cost bracket all right, but hey, that's what the 20% off coupons at BBB are for! makes it be about $60 for the medium size pot. You want this.
ReplyDeletekemp.linda@gmail.com
DeleteI would have to go back and get my magic One Touch Can Opener. LIke this one...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.amazon.com/One-Touch-Ultra-Can-Opener/dp/B00ADNP0RC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1355931736&sr=8-3&keywords=one+touch+can
It was a Christmas gift about 5 years ago and still going strong!!! Love it!!
I would take my can opener. Love the clean cut opening with no mess at all. I love it so much, I'm gifting them to family members this year.
ReplyDeleteThere are few favorite items that I just could not live without:
ReplyDelete1. My Pampered Chef can open (even though mah hubz hates it & can't figure it out)
2. My Pampered Chef food chopper (none other on the market chops like the PC one does!!Mine is over 10 yrs old - has the little hen sitting on a chef cap for the logo - and is still sharp as the day I bought it!)
3. My vintage potato masher (old wooden handle on top of a round holey steel disk - a 99 cent Goodwill find several years ago)
4. My knives (LOVE these things - full tang steel, with slipcovers - I bought another set just to use when I have to cook at clients' homes!)
5. My Kirkland (Costco) pots & pans set (actually, during my nasty divorce several years back, this cooking set, and the above stuff, were the major items I grabbed when I had to flee the home!)
I would for sure save my favorite knife :) I love the reusable pouches that you posted though. I think its a great idea, but the price is a little high for my budget. I may have to come up with a less expensive way to get the same outcome. If I find one I will let you know! Its a great idea though, those fruit pouches you buy at the store get expensive and I'm sure there is all kinds of junk in them. The kiddos would be much better off with some homemade fruit sauce in those reusable containers :)
ReplyDeleteheycristina@me.com Thanks for the opportunity!
I would have to save my cast iron skillet. So glad I gave up my teflon for this baby. I use it every day.
ReplyDeleteIf I could take only one thing with me, it would be my grenadine-enameled Staub coquette cast iron pot. It is beautiful, has a fun "coq" as a handle and I can't stop coming up with new ways to use it! Although there are many gadgets in my kitchen that are useful and/or amuse me, I truly love this thing. (and my cast iron skillet!) (Oh! and that plastic thingy that looks like a bottle opener, but really it's used to pop open jars by releasing the vacuum-action, even though my adult boys keep using it to open bottles. rrrggg!)
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be the all clad stainless steel and my cutco knives! I'll take a chance on my dutch ovens...
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit this, but I have the spoon/colander combo thing (kind of reminds me of a pelican) that would definitely require a trip into a burning building. It stays in my dish drain 24/7, so it is always handy for use. Kmgutie@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy Blendtec blender!
ReplyDeleteWithout any doubt, it would be my King Arthur silicone rolling mat. I bake a LOT of bread and this thing has saved my sanity. I slap it on the counter, knead away and do all sorts of other bready things on it and when I am done, I wash it up in a bowl of soapy water and hang to dry. No more scrubbing bread boards. It was worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteMy bread stone is pretty awesome too, but a fire would just season it up some more. Plus it is too heavy to run with.

It turns out a George Foreman grill is much more versatile than I ever imagined (I used to look at them with disdain for being a single-purpose counter space waster). My boyfriend has had one for years, and when I started cooking for us more, I learned so many uses for it. Mostly, I do variations on the quesadilla (my favorite is the "pizza-dilla", which is a tortilla containing diced fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, oregano, basil, garlic and onion powders) because they're so quick and easy. But you can do a lot with a Foreman grill. Email smarmoofus at gmail dot com.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to go with the KitchenAid stand mixer...
ReplyDeleteCoffee maker. I'm addicted to the stuff. lindseyugo@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAs much as I would like to say my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, that SOB is HEA-VY...so, depending on how much smoke I had inhaled at this point it would either be that or..oh, who am I kidding, I'd just drag the hubby back with me and make him carry it.
ReplyDeletebun coffee maker. pot of coffee in minutes flat. jamie_k_howe@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy Apple Green Kitchen Aid mixer! I watched the price on Amazon for a year or more before finally clicking the "buy now" button! It sure beats (pun) mixing by hand when you have carpal tunnel in both rists!
ReplyDeleteconquat@gmail.com
It would have to be my dishwasher! I have lots of things that help me get the meals prepped and cooked but my dishwasher keeps me sane! I was without it for a month and thought my life was over! Not kidding!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, love your sense of practicalness and love your advice!

DeleteI would have to say my pampered chef scissors - they cut up everything kitchen - especially chicken! And then they go in the dishwasher!!
ReplyDeletesoucym AT sbcglobal dot net
Very hard to choose just one. It's a toss up between my Kitchen Aid, my cast iron skillets, my dutch ovens or my crock pots. I think that if I have to choose then I would grab my cast iron dutch oven since it's the one with the lid that doubles as a pan. Thanks. christineiannazzo@yahoo.com
ReplyDeletecrap! i live in Quebec, Canada, but i would grab my very very old yogurt maker. never fails to make perfect yogurt every time
ReplyDeleteKandy

ReplyDeleteMy Pampered Chef knives especially the quikcut paring knife. Sharp enough to cut ya!
ReplyDeletehomeandgardenparty4u at yahoo dot com
Seriously, if my house was burning down - I'd grab my old dog and forget my "stuff"...but since this is theoretical...I have a great butcher's knife that is OLD and paper thin - that and sadly my favorite mug from a Canada trip and my Keurig...the day wouldn't start right without my 1 cup....and I do use the less wasteful San Francisco coffee "cups" a fraction of the wasteful plastic...using the word wasteful twice made it sound less wasteful....
ReplyDeletedalaimama=jude68@gmail.com
I would grab my kitchen aid mixer... and my coffee maker. Can't function without my coffee!!! :) jenniferk_avon@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI think it would have to be my knives. I lusted after them for years, and finally got them as a wedding present! If there was still time after that mad dash, I would go back in for my Kitchen mixer, as hubby got it for me for our first Christmas together; and possibly my Le Creuset dutch oven... In that order. I am a little obsessed with my cookware....
ReplyDeletepetitsouris@gmail.com
My knife. I have a $40 kitchen aid knife that my husband got me when I for the umpteenth time cut my fingers with my mother in laws old knives. The knife is awesome and best investment EVER! :o)
ReplyDeletechoogerhuis (at) hotmail (dot) com
Probably my Santoku! It's not even a great brand, it just goes and goes and barely needs sharpening. I would have said my cast iron pans, but those would probably survive a fire. Just would need a little reseasoning. ;)
ReplyDeletemadhodgepodge (at) gmail (dot) com
I would save my Kai kitchen knives that have survived many moves and years as well as my butcher block style cutting board! I would leave my immersion blender because it's starting to hit the dirt these days, but a new one would be the best!
ReplyDeleteps - yr blog is great!
