I would like to let you guys into my house. Not literally but through the mind's eye of course. When I cook, I like a cute kitschy atmosphere. I spent 3 months looking for the perfect cup of measuring cups to stagger along my windowsill. Well I couldnt get them b/c they were 30 bucks and I am intrinsically opposed to spending that much. I got a cute set of measuring cups that look like little china tea cups. Only today was a dark day...I chipped the 1/4 cup one! Mourn ye with me please. Another telling feature that would tell people that this is MY kitchen is the dispenser of Lysol wipes and antibacterial gel. I may or may not have been described as a neat freak. My kitchen also shows signs of compromise within a marriage. Husband insisted that we needed a wine fridge although we dont really drink wine. He uses it for liquor or beer so it is def getting used. I guess it also frees up some of the valuable refridgerator real estate since I just HAD to get the swanky Euro model that barely fits anything inside larger than an orange.

I agree that I have to somewhat "own" the kitchen I cook in. I like choosing my own utensils, soap dispensers and even color of the kitchen sponge. And yes, with a marriage, there is a compromise. Sorry to hear about your measuring cup. I deal with industrial looking steel ones that my husbands insists on -- or until I can find a set I like.
ReplyDeleteare they manly measuring cups? If you ever are so inclined, the expensive cups are at anthropologie and the prices/ selection may vary by now. The ones I ended up getting were decently priced at 12 bux at pier one. =)
ReplyDeletehi dd - i'm the same way about posting. i do a massive s-load, stockpile them and post them all at once.

ReplyDeletehi dd -you're too kind....!
ReplyDeleteFunny. I have an old plastic measuring cup as well. I finally had to buy a glass Pyrex one.But I refuse to throw the old one away. to many good food memories. Man I think I need to go on that show on TLC for people who hoard kitchen wares.
