When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Do you not eat salad, or do you not use utensils for salad?

I bought a set of tiny pots basically because they were purple (they're meant to be a child's learning-to-cook set or maybe for dorm use on an illicit hot plate) but now that I have them I use them all the time. A saucepan that holds 2 cups if I fill it up to the brim is perfect for one serving of a lot of things. And the wee frying pan is great for a single burger, or searing one tuna steak, etc. I actually bought a second mini set (this one every pan/pot a different color, but all clear tones that go with my Fiestaware) because the wee pot came with an insert for poaching one egg, which is kind of awesome now that I am a person who eats poached eggs. The tiny pink square griddle I have not really used much, but it's very cute. And both sets fit into the "warming cupboard" of my fake old-timey cast iron stove, right above the burners at eye level, which is super handy.

Glad to hear it, Matt!

Yikes, puncture wound!

For future reference how to pit an avocado. No pointy bits anywhere near your hands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My kitchen accessories are mostly lime green, and I feel fine about eating cake with a salad fork.

Glad your hand is OK, Matt.

Okay, I admit it: I'm pretty stoked to register for wedding gifts.

Yeah, that was fun. I like the little handheld computer gun you point and shoot at stuff you want. Pew pew pew!

If Pumpkin will stop mugging me for attention, I'll do my shopping run. Market got done in a record 30 min AND I got cheese grits. Nom.

Mmmm, cheese grits.

Putting stuff on a gift registry is tons of fun. Like turbo-charged window shopping. And then people give you stuff, which is also pretty nice.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Like most Saturdays when I'm home, I have a cat on my lap. Silly thing tried to steal the spoon out of my cereal bowl. What she wanted with it, I have no idea.

Shiny thing, good for pouncing?

I don't think I could retrain myself to hold the knife still and turn the avocado, but otherwise that video is pretty much my technique. Except I use a curved paring knife, usually.

I am definitely on Team All Forks Are Cake Forks.

I think DH and I need to get married again so we can replenish our silverware supply. We've been slowly losing knives with each apartment move. Also the new Kitchenaid colors are pretty.
