As I set up house-keeping, here’s some things I can not do without in my kitchen.
A Pyrex two cup measure. A pitcher or jug, a juicer. The blender is perfect without taking up a lot of room. Biggest success with it early on has been pureeing leek and potato soup. Heck, I might even call it vichysoisse. Also crushes ice for iced coffees. Takes up very little room and looks kind of cool to boot! Whistling kettle gets really loud, what I don’t like is having to reach across to turn the element off…from my wheelchair. Melita, drip makes the coffee I like as long as its KickAss Dark Roast. Toaster Oven mades a great tuna melt, though I think I’ll keep making Ruben’s in the pan. Sad day when I retired mum’s measuring cup, but igt was no0t meant for the dishwasher. The new one is and will last. Having a dishwasher (not pictured) has made a huge difference to my qaulity of life because I can keep dirty dishes in it without cluttering my tiny counter.
