Boy is that ever a lifesaver for gravies and so much more. THAT is something I would not part with. I am a gravy lover, and so you can see why I must have my separator. Oh, but the can opener is really a gift. No, I cannot live without my can opener. I am sure there are other things more interesting, but that is what came to mind just now.<br /><br />Fun little post, Billie Jo :)<br /><br />Happy Monday!<br />:) HopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-72483296230363353942014-04-28T05:34:22.588-07:002014-04-28T05:34:22.588-07:00Fun post!!

Mine is a Pampered Chef one, but there are other models out there now (mine is old) I use it for my garlic, instead of a press...(does the same thing I think) I use it for chopping peppers....on the rare occasion I use jalepeno's, I use it for onions and cilantro...and anything I need chopped really good. I use it for nuts even. <br /><br />I have a "take out" menu folder too!! (so funny!) <br /><br />I've seen those little measuring cups for teaspoons and Tbsp's (they are so cute) but since I'm always trying to declutter, I use my little measuring spoons....I like using them...(I have a larger liquid measuring cup just not a tsp one) <br /><br />We use more than one towel per day...so we'd need several "day" towels if I did that...then, I 'd be pressured to get the laundry done on time...<br /><br />You are amazing! <br /><br />Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-88025901211100736262014-04-28T04:35:00.474-07:002014-04-28T04:35:00.474-07:00Huh.

I use my liquid measuring cup all.the.time. The towels are super duper cute. Where did you get them? I don't know if I've every seen ones with days of the week on them. Very cute. And take out menus, a must. Great idea to have them in a folder and all together.<br /><br />I will say I think that you are a master kitchen mama judging by what you post. Now if you could just find a way to share those yummies through the computer screen I would be most delighted. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-7251919868690670562014-04-27T18:15:07.572-07:002014-04-27T18:15:07.572-07:00I love the garlic press!

I got it at my bridal shower and I think it was the best gift ever. Is it possible to have a special bond with a kitchen utensil? I'm going to say yes.<br />I am sure you are quite the cook.

No more peeling!<br />I really like meat thermometers because I am a bit of a germ-o-phobe. I want that meat cooked!<br />Your glass measuring cup is genius. I think I'll have to get one of those!<br />And I think you are a wonderful cook. You have lots of experience, and I've seen all the photos you put up.

Most of the meat I cook is in the slow cooker, so I feel safe about it being fully cooked.<br /><br />I find my most useful tools are mixing bowls, my little handheld mixer, my measuring cups, and my potato/carrot masher ( I make a lot of carrot souffle). I use those a lot! I'm thankful to have those because without them I would have a hard time :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208276783281736857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-47854715654319285102014-04-26T07:22:28.611-07:002014-04-26T07:22:28.611-07:00You definitely are a good cook because you enjoy d...You definitely are a good cook because you enjoy doing it.
