figmentIn lieu of actual content, I will share with you a cooking/kitchen implements meme.
Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of. (Things in plain text with no change are things I simply don't have and never did.)
"I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers, blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, melon ballers, sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese boards, cheese knives, electric woks, miniature salad spinners, griddle pans, jam funnels, meat thermometers, filleting knives, egg poachers, cake stands, garlic crushers, martini glasses, tea strainers, bamboo steamers, pizza stones, coffee grinders, milk frothers, piping bags, banana stands, fluted pastry wheels, tagine dishes, conical strainers, rice cookers, steam cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, spaetzle makers, cookie presses, gravy strainers, double boilers (bains marie), sukiyaki stoves, ice cream makers, fondue sets, healthy-grills, home smokers, tempura sets, tortilla presses, electric whisks, cherry stoners, sugar thermometers, food processors, bacon presses, bacon slicers, mouli mills, cake testers, pestle-and-mortars, and sets of kebab skewers languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards."
...Hmm. My results are rather dull/satisfying. Mostly I either have never owned such a thing, or I own it and use it at least once a year.
If we add "fondue sets", though, I would have to italicize that; it gets used about once every 2-3 years.
Note that the two thermometers (meat/sugar) are one digital thermometer, and the cake stand (I think that's what it is) is used regularly, but seldom for cakes.
Miniature salad spinners? Why would you have a mini one? We do use our normal sized one regularly.
