What’s the next kitchen item you plan to buy?

[Timenspace]

My boyfriend and I went shopping for a toaster, for my Mom. Her (30+y old )one gave up on her, and we did find exactly the sort she wanted, with handles for sandwiches.

At the same store I bought 2 table lamps. 1 for the kitchen, as it gets dark behind the fridge on the countertop, 2nd one as a working light for the piano. Like them both very much.

Later I placed the lamp on top of the fridge, that way it doesn't shine in my eyes directly, but still lightens.

Happy!

The bottom of the lamp bears a touch sensor, which I didn't know upfront.Almost got agitated, oh Gosh, bought a switchless lamp...

Very nice of you - I’ve never seen a toaster with handles like that.

They were/are very common in Holland..

And why would it be unhealthy or fattening?

Its the dough!

Dough is unhealthy?
Why?
You can use whole wheat.
It doesn't need olive oil either.

handles like that.

Really? I haven't paid attention to be honest, but I might have seen them in a magazine or online.
My Mom gets all the leaflets delivered to her building, and she must have seen it in there, or on Tv. She knew exactly what she wanted.
Thank you.

I didn't it was unhealthy. Its purely the calories that I'm concerned about. One slice of an average pizza (6th) is OK but not half a pizza or a whole one, for me. Toppings can be fairly low calorie if they are vegetarian or fish but mozarella is high calorie.

So, in terms if buying a pizza oven, it doesn't make sense as I would only eat a 6th of a pizza!

I just had a look at a bog standard pizza (Crosta and Mollica sourdough margherita) and it says half a pizza is 465cals.
A sixth would be 155cals.
I'm no expert in this arena but that doesn't sound like anywhere enough calories for an adult.

I rarely eat as much as 465cals in one meal. I suppose I could have 2 slices though. Still doesn't justify a pizza oven...

 

[badjak]

Ok, I misunderstood.
The oven is only small, so pizza's are small. You may even be able to eat half a pizza
I use it a lot, but I have enough space to have it standing, ready for use...

I can eat pizza for several days in a row...2 slices a day for 4 days and it's gone!

New gadget for Mom actually:
I bought her an electric can opener I swear a few months ago at Wally World - it died - I can't find the receipt for it, so I figure it was free and bought her a new one at Ace Hardware.

Pizza oven still on floor of living room.
I will be perfect for Mr SSOAP and I but for four hungry souls - nope, it needs a second shelf.
Which shows on the internet as available and then turns into a baking tray when you click the link!
Apparently available in America for £19.99 with a working link.
Hmph

So the reluctant ice maker in our kitchen refrigerator/freezer quit working for 3 days in a row this past week, which she'd never done before (usually 1 day or 2 at the most). I ordered the countertop ice maker. The day after I received the email that it had shipped, the ice maker in the kitchen started working again, lol. New ice maker will arrive this week. Oh well!
