Yesterday morning my beloved asked me what my plans were for the day. I told him that I was going to a kitchen supply store with my mother.
She wanted to. And, to be honest, so did I. I've had flat whisk dreams for a while now.
And he said, "So, you'll probably want some money, right?"
You know...like we live in 1955.
And I said, "Money is always appreciated."
Because, why fight it if it's workin' for ya'.
So he asked how much I thought I needed. Which is just a ridiculous question. I've never been to this store. I don't know what they have. I don't know what they're charging. What I do know is that it's completely embarrassing to be standing at the register and not have enough money....so just give me everything you have and I'll bring you the change.
This is my thinking and my reasoning for responding with,
"Hundred bucks."
He laughed. Then he rolled his eyes. Then he looked at me like I was crazy insane.
But I stood strong. Ask for the moon and all.
So he says,
"Oh yeah right. Here's $40."
"Fine. I'll see what I can get with this," and I put it in my wallet, although I really only wanted to satisfy my flat whisk dreams and maybe a few fantasies about a french rolling pin.
Truly, I would have probably only needed $20, but I didn't want to tell him that because then he would say that he would have given me $60 and then I would have had to put on a strapless, red velvet dress and a sparkly diamond necklace and fly off to San Francisco to see the opera and rescue him right back.
And it was too early in the morning and I couldn't get my hair to curl right.
Besides, I've never been much of an opera fan anyway.
When he got home last night he asked me what I bought and we played Kitchen Toy Store Show and Tell.
"How much did it come to?"
"$37 and change."
(because the first $20 did, in fact, cover the whisk and the rolling pin, but maybe a few things jumped into my basket that I wasn't counting on)
(3 ladles in graduated sizes are always useful)
(one professional spatula beats the crap out of two plastic ones)
(a red, silicone basting brush that stands heat up to 500 degrees?...come on!)
"Well, it's a good thing I gave you forty."
Right.

For MacroMonday group, theme: Utensils and Tools.
Obviously this has never been used! Why in the first place do they sell these wooden meat tenderizers? I would consider this porous and once I beat a piece of bloody meat, I would have to consider this trash.
Our son made this piece of pottery, and we use it to store our cooking utensils. It's an example of the small bits of beauty we can add to our lives.
I got myself a stone mortar and pestle - I had a metal one but I never liked it - it scratched and rusted. This one was made in Bangladesh.

Amazon.com Review
In today's rapidly changing world, using renewable resources makes sense, even in the kitchen. Joyce Chen's burnished bamboo utensils are not only earth-friendly, but beautiful and practical. Bamboo, a grass, grows quickly to harvestable size and is considered an environmentally-sound replacement for slow-growing trees. Stronger than wood, the tools in this set won't scratch nonstick surfaces and are so tough they won't swell, split, or absorb moisture like wood can. Moreover, these are dishwasher-safe. The burnished honey color comes not from a stain but from oven-roasting, which caramelizes the bamboo's naturally occurring sugars.
Joyce Chen Eco Friendly Utensil Set
Designed with Asian cooking in mind, but appropriate for other types of cuisine as well, this five-piece bamboo tool set includes a 12-inch mixing spoon, 12-inch slotted spatula, 11-inch tongs, and 13-inch stir-fry spatula, complete with a bamboo canister. All the tools are safe to use on any nonstick surface. Joyce Chen produces an impressive range of burnished bamboo kitchen tools and cutting boards, along with traditional woks and Asian-style cutlery for the dedicated home chef. --Ann Bieri

Bakkestøberiet i Frederiksværk, jernstøberi.
Hårdt jern. Der er låg på støbeskeen for at holde på varmen. De små skeer, er gryder foret med ler og sand, for at jernet ikke brænder fast i forbindelse
med støbningen. Når leret og sandet er næsten brændt væk, bliver gryden vendt af stangen og udskiftet med en ny. I nederste højre hjørne ses vægtstykker til at lægge på formene på
grund af trykket ved støbningen.

I may have lost some comments as I was trying to arrange these photos. If I deleted you, I do apologize!
I always get confused when uploading photos here because when I upload to a pool it seems to auto-arrange the photos no matter how I select them, and then I can't remember if the ones I upload first on my photostream show up first or last in the series!

Jabir ibn Abdullah (r) said: The Prophet (s) used to teach us to seek Allah's Counsel in all matters, as he used to teach us a Surah from the Quran. He would say: When anyone of you has an important matter to decide, let him pray to Rak'ahs other than the obligatory prayer, and then say : "O Allah, I seek the counsel of Your knowledge... [till the end of the Hadeeth]" (Al-Bukhari)
