Mrs BamaVol is rolling her eyes from 25 miles away right now as she senses me type this.

I've already filled my kitchen cabinets with stuff I use rarely, but needed for the odd meal here or there. In fact, the dutch oven I requested for Fathers Day hasn't yet been touched. Most of my gadgets are small; box grater, mortar & pestle, lemon juicer, salt grinder, etc. I'm not really talking about appliances, major or countertop, but I guess mine are.

2 things I've always wanted.

Cold cut slicer. I'd love to buy my sandwich meat in bulk and slice it as needed. Mrs B and I could live on sandwiches and probably will 6 days a week after we retire. Right now I'm not home enough and there's no storage room until I address the bunny-like tupperware reproduction rate in the cabinets.

Meat grinder. Gramdma BamaVol had a hand cranked model that looked like it was ancient. The blades were changeable for different degrees of grind and it clamped to the counter. I'm not sure what I'd do with it but I want one. I'm not sure what she used it for besides making hash from leftover roast beef and potatos.

Yours?
