Cooking implements

In my house I have finnally taken care of a moral outrage when it comes my kitchen. What's that you may ask? The lack of quality knives. I have plenty of knives around this house. But none of them are very good. And in fact they really sucked, they're cheap, hadn't been sharpened in ages and didn't cut worth a damn. It made using them really frustrating to use. I finally had enough and got a top of the line bread knife and it is a beauty to use. But that only addressed one defenicy. Having a bread knife is a good start, but if your chef's knife isn't any good, you can only go so far in the kitchen before giving up and calling for takeout. So when I was up in Oregon, I took care of the problem of awful knives. But getting a decent set of knives that should hold up for a while considering the abuse they will take at the house with all the people that come and go at my place. They won't be my personal set of knives which I'm saving up for a set of Heinkels or Wusthof's, but they will do. It is so nice to cut things with a sharp knife. It makes a world of difference.

All in All my kitchen is pretty well stocked but it was lacking some basic cooking supplies.
Then's the tuberware mystery. I have a whole bunch of lids that have no bowls for them. Where those bowls went is a mystery. On that I think to solve it I would have to travel to at least three countries and two contients. It would be adventure and a story worth telling.
But in the mean time, I also picked up a new set of tuberware and it's cool to have a place store your left overs.

And then I can't say how cool it is to have a pair a tongs. It's way cool, to pull things out without schorching your hands.
And last but not least, is finding some bargin cookies cutters. they rock now I just need to make a few batches of cookies.

It's cool to have some decent cooking supplies. And when it comes to cooking it's always more fun to cook for other people than just for yourself.
