Richard,

Thanks so much for the tip on letter openers - I have one at work and never considered it to be a kitchen tool - wonderful idea.

have been thinking of this for a few days as I work in the kitchen and came up with one I seem to use constantly and that is a plain old pair of scissors. Just fixed a salad to go with lunch and grabbed them to snip a boiled egg and green onions. It is so much quicker than getting a knife and cutting board out for small preps. I have two pairs and one is always in the dishwasher and another is handy to use.

The coffee pot is probably the next thing I could not live without.

My favorite pot is a big ole enamel coated saucepan - very heavy and nice to use.

Take your HOLDY hand and make a peace sign facing to the side and downward.
Close them on the top of the packet -holding it tight between those fingers-
Let the package hang down and use your thumb and remaining fingers to pull the plastic tight.
Then zip the package open with the cutter.

Practice and you'll see just how easy it is!

OK, Mister Kitchen, I "practiced" ...

That is a very interesting thingie, Richard!! I have NEVER seen it before!! Must tell Santa!

Most companies here in the states give them out as promotional items.

They are free.

Let me look around to see if I can find one someplace?

What a great thread!

I am at a loss as to what items in my kitchen I cannot live without. Hmmm....

Machine: Stove ( I HATE the microwave)
Tool: Kitchen Aid bowls (use them for almost everything)
Food: vegetable broth (put it in almost everything)

Barilla Brand Pasta.

I bought myself a lime squeezer and have used it almost everyday for the last three weeks.

This morning I was making a lime water....squeeze a lime into some water for taste.....as opposed to drinking a soda or ???

I put a piece of lime into the squeezer, put pressure on the handles and went blind in my right eye.

Dang thing projected a stream of juice right into the old eye ball!



I was laughing to hard to think about the possible consequences!

Only "eye" could make lime juice dangerous!

Veggy Broth??

I've used Chicken Broth and Beef Broth - both sold as ready-to-use liquids ...

Don't remember seeing "Vegetable Broth" on the grocery shelves.
What kind of packaging is it sold in?
