In fact, I have been lusting after them for months. The only reason I don’t have them yet is because I haven’t dragged my lazy bum out to Target to get them, and I refuse to pay the $10 shipping on them. But red happens to be one of my absolute favorite colors, and I want them. Really I do. Don’t you think they would look so pretty with food in them on this blog? Yes. Yes they would. But not at that price for shipping. Although the blue set is also nice. I wonder how much the shipping would be for both sets?

I try to be a reasonably frugal cook, but one thing I have learned is to not skimp on is kitchen tools. Good tools are a gift you give yourself that keeps on giving. And it’s not always the spendy tools that are good ones. This spoon, for instance was about $4. As you can see, it broke right off! And before that, it leaked water out of that band into my pots and pans. Blech!
These two are better spoons. Surprisingly enough, I only paid about a buck a piece for them, one at Wal-Mart, one at Dollar Tree. The dark blue one is the DT one, and it’s made of melamine. Truly an awesome spoon, BUT. That little black dot is rubber and it was attached to a larger rubber piece on the back of the handle. The glue was apparently not dishwasher safe, because that back piece came off. This doesn’t effect the way the spoon performs, though, and they also have holed spoons and spatulas and pancake turners at Dollar Tree. The next time I go there, I will be getting a few more, I think.
Next up is what may possibly be my favorite spoon ever, and these hands have held a lot of spoons. I got it in a pack for different tools for $4 or $5. We love them all, and they are the first ones we reach for. Come to think of it, I would almost rather have more of these than more of the melamine ones.
WOW: you don’t want to get caught by surprise with a wooden spoon.

This is my kitchen. Well in a manner of speaking, this is my kitchen. At least, this is what my kitchen looked like the last time it was thoroughly and completely cleaned, which was back in, like, April. It’s pretty much been in constant use since then, and I just can’t seem to get both the counters cleared at the same time. We cook a lot of good food up in here, ya’ll. It’s a hard life.
