Kitchen Fantasy vs. Reality

**AmyBoz** · 02-07-2003, 06:20 AM

Many of us imagine ourselves whipping up wonderful gourmet meals for the family night after night, if only we had the time to become that great chef we feel we could and should be. That's why we've kept all those barely used bread makers, exotic pots and pans, juicers, souffle dishes, sprout makers, strange spices with stranger sounding names, and weird cookbooks we wishfully bought. Face it, if you haven't found the time yet, that's because you prefer investing it in other quality-of-life interests that are more important to you. Accept that fact and give away or donate all your Wolfgang Puck paraphernalia to someone who'll use it.

That is good advice!

I can honestly say that I don't buy many kitchen gadgets. Because, I know that I won't use them. My kitchen is really tiny, so having a lot of that would only make it more crammed. But, boy have I wanted to buy those waffle makers, sno cone makers, etc. ! It's probably a good thing my kitchen is so small!

I am a small appliance sucker. I pick them up mainly at garage sales or thrift stores but if they have a good price I buy 'em. I am a sucker. I have bunches of things I will probably never use but at the moment it was just too good a deal to pass up.

I want to develop some willpower in that area but.....oh well, LOL.
