Yeah it's on the list for buying, but we've got to keep an eye on our spending given the current gas price crisis here. We're paying a premium atm so I will get one soonish, at least somewhere this year.
I have a good sized kitchen, but I hate the plating part too. Mostly it's because my husband won't let me plate his food and he makes a mess every single time he puts food on the plate. And he hates it when I suggest he hold the plate close to (or even over) the pan to avoid slopping it all over the stove and/or countertops. Sigh. And he does it so slowly and piddles around with other stuff so his food is cold by the time he eats it. He always tells me to get my food first and if I wait for him to finish plating, my food is cold too, so most of the time these days I start eating without him.
Yeah, that's pretty much a given for sure.
Yeah, I live in my kitchen. I like to just sit at my barstool at the counter and read or look at my phone, etc. I am not always cooking or cleaning something.
I just throw it in . Stems and all, and then pick it out before eating or servingChopping/mincing fresh herbs, especially thyme. The bigger stuff, like sage and even parsley, are fine, but I hate mincing thyme. Sadly, it's probably my favorite and most-used fresh herb!
I don't know, but it's aggravating. And I also have repeatedly told him to turn off the burner and don't leave the vinyl spoon in the pot on the stove or the crockpot (I have spoon rests next to the stove), but most of the time he still does it. Usually the burner is on the lowest setting so the food isn't burned, but often the edge of the spoon handle is starting to melt from leaning against the edge of the pot. If I don't remind him he will do it but he gets irritated with me when I remind him before I walk out of the kitchen.
