My Husband! He's the one who loves to cook around here, not me!

For me I'd have to say I can't live without my microwave (to reheat the food Richard cooks, LOL!).

As for the food item I need the most it would probably be milk. We drink about 3-4 gallons a week - just the two of us. I have to have something to pour over my cold cereal for breakfast since I don't cook.

Tool: my set of Henckels knives!! Can't figure out why I waited so long (I LOVE to cook!) They were a present to myself about 4 years back and I STILL marvel at them!

Machine: the toaster oven. I use it for preparing most of our meals year round, than that lighting the big oven. For just 2 people it is perfect!

Food: Milk
