Kitchen Gadgets

Over the weekend, we (although - let's face it - it's mostly my toys) have greatly increased the gadgetry in our kitchen. Using my bread making as an excuse, I purchased the cool glass/chrome digital kitchen scale that I placed on our wedding registry full of hope, only to be disappointed. I think this is the third scale I have purchased since living on my own, and it is by far the best - I love the accuracy, being able to switch between metric and english units and the fact that you can reset the tare after each ingredient is added. Of course, browsing around today I discovered another one that has metric/english conversion for volume. That's OK, though, since mine looks cooler.

We also finally managed to find the extra 4.5qt bowl for our mixer. Although BBB has it on their site, they do not carry it in the store. Luckily Linnens'n Things had it in their store and they take BBB's 20% Off coupons (which, BTW, never expire).

And then Meredith O and family gave us a very cool and vicious looking herb chopper. It reminds me of those hopper thingies with rotating blades that damsels-in-distress-/James Bond in 007 flicks get pulled to on an conveyor belt only to be rescued/free themselves at the last moment. Needles to say, I'll get to play the villain to some parsley the first chance I get.
