Question of the Day, Friday, October 2

Good morning! And Happy Friday!

Kind of a quirky set of questions for today. Answer the following questions about your kitchen:

1. What is the newest thing in your kitchen?
2. What is the oldest thing in your kitchen?
3. Name something you might be embarrassed to admit having in your kitchen

4. Name a leftover that's in your fridge

5. Your kitchen's on fire - What would you save?

1. What is the newest thing in your kitchen?

My sourdough crock

2. What is the oldest thing in your kitchen?

I have my grandmother's rolling pin and her cookie cutters. That pin is at least 100 years old now. That rolling pin has rolled a lot of pie crusts and a lot of cookie dough, not just from Grandma's kitchen, but from mine, too. It has a beautiful patina from all the butter and lard in the doughs.
 

3. Name something you might be embarrassed to admit having in your kitchen

I have a decades-old yellow plastic Tupperware colander. It is cracked and it is discolored. I also have a gorgeous stainless colander that I don't use. Why do I use my old plastic colander? Because my mother gave it to me years and years and years ago, and I refuse to get rid of it. It's large and it's perfect to sit in the kitchen sink to drain pasta and everything else. It looks horrible and yet, I keep it.

4. Name a leftover that's in your fridge

A bit of apple butter BBQ sauce

5. Your kitchen's on fire - What would you save?

My cookbook. It took me years to write and print that cookbook. It's a collection of old family favorites as well as new recipes that we like to make. (And I'd probably try to save that darn yellow plastic colander, too.  )

1. What is the newest thing in your kitchen?

The coffee maker. The carafe on my last one broke and it was cheaper to get a new coffee maker. 

2. What is the oldest thing in your kitchen?

My frying pans. I got them after I left my husband, 12 years ago. I have newer ones but I still have these as a reminder.

3. Name something you might be embarrassed to admit having in your kitchen

I can't think of anything on this one except my old frying pans, LOL

4. Name a leftover that's in your fridge

I am not home enough to cook much so there aren't any leftovers in my fridge. If I have any when I do cook I or my BF takes them to work the next day. Most of what is in my fridge is condiments, milk, tea, soda and water.

5. Your kitchen's on fire - What would you save?

My cookbooks. I have several that were given to me by my mom and dad before they passed away and these cannot be replaced. I also have several that I have bought throughout the years.

1. What is the newest thing in your kitchen? My Rachael Ray casserole dish
2. What is the oldest thing in your kitchen? My toaster and pots and pans. We got them as wedding gifts 6 years ago.
3. Name something you might be embarrassed to admit having in your kitchen. I really can't think of anything. My kitchen is pretty basic, nothing is older than 6 years and I've recently gone through and cleaned out all the cupboards so there's no old food or anything.
4. Name a leftover that's in your fridge. Turkey pot pie from dinner last night.
5. Your kitchen's on fire - What would you save? My baby brezza formula pro machine. It makes life with a baby a LOT easier. It's like a keurig for bottles, formula in the top and water in the side which is kept warm and makes a bottle in seconds.

1. What is the newest thing in your kitchen?

Mine is also my sourdough crock

2. What is the oldest thing in your kitchen?

Besides me? I guess the cast iron skillets. 

3. Name something you might be embarrassed to admit having in your kitchen

A cabinet by the fridge that is like a time capsule. if you opened it, you'd think DD was about 7. There are coloring books, crayons and Barbies in there.  

4. Name a leftover that's in your fridge

Macaroni Salad

5. Your kitchen's on fire - What would you save?

The cats' dishes and my sourdough crock. 

What is the newest thing in your kitchen? A new set of cookware.  When a burger stuck badly to my old skillet I knew it was time to give up on them.

2. What is the oldest thing in your kitchen?  My knives

3. Name something you might be embarrassed to admit having in your kitchen  I can't really think of anything.  The kitchen is really where I hang on to things.

4. Name a leftover that's in your fridge  Some steamed veggies

5. Your kitchen's on fire - What would you save?   I have a large envelope in a kitchen cabinet with things like birth certificate, divorce papers, tax returns that would be the one thing out of the kitchen I would try to save.  To be honest I would probably try to save the kitties and that would be it.  All of the documents are replaceable, a PIA and expense to replace but replaceable.

The newest thing in my kitchen is my Kitchen Aid counter top mixer.

The oldest thing in my kitchen a pink depression glass that belonged to my Daddy's great aunt on his mother's side of the family. I believe it is the Cherry Blossom Pattern. I put a sticker on the bottom of it so my kids won't put it in a yard sale. I have a lot of old items that belonged to my grandmother too.

There is nothing in my kitchen I would be embarrassed about.

Last night's supper was pork spareribs. That are leftovers in the fridge.

I would save my Kitchen Aid Mixer. :lol3:

1. What is the newest thing in your kitchen?

    I think it is the banana stand. I finally broke down and got one.

2. What is the oldest thing in your kitchen?

     Some of my mom's old Farberware.  

3. Name something you might be embarrassed to admit having in your kitchen

     Maybe the junk drawer but I bet everyone has one of those. 

4. Name a leftover that's in your fridge

     None right now. We rarely have leftovers since I cook exactly what I need just for the meal at hand.  Less potential for over eating that way.

5. Your kitchen's on fire - What would you save?

    Perhaps the stuff in the aforementioned junk drawer. I know there's things in there that isn't really "junk" - like my monthly parking passes, and brochures for various kitchen equipment. 

newest thing in my kitchen:  My cat, when he is eating. I adopted him 3.5 yrs ago; and his meds

Oldest thing: ME! or my Aunt's old Sunbeam MixMaster mixer

Embarrassed to have in kitchen? either my cloth shopping bags or an old bookcase which holds staples which do not fit in cabinets

Leftovers: none, finished them yesterday

What would I save in case of a fire:  Artie's medicines and mine.  Then my mom's recipe box

A bag of hair from cutting DH's hair.  I sprinkle it in the garden to deter bunnies and critters.  It's in the kitchen at the moment; but its not like it's on the counter.

Rotisserie chicken. Dinner for me, snacks for the cats.

My Kitchen Aid Stand mixer. It's pink and sparkley and I'm in love with it.

An old fridge - it works well, it is just starting to look narly! Not messy or unclean narly, like aged metal and paint narly.

Jacket potatoes.
No idea.

mani I was looking at ads in my Sunday paper. There is a beautiful one, red, for $199. But I already have one. If you come across one for that price, run, don't walk. Most of the time you can't get one under $300. I would give away anything in my kitchen, but that. I would fight you for it. :lol3: They are wonderful for mixing gluten free bread dough, mashed potatoes so creamy, anything. I should have had one thirty years ago. :nod:

Would you believe over here they are AU$700 (about US$500).  Don't think I'll be getting one very soon...

mani Oh no. I had no idea the Kitchen Aids could cost that much anywhere.

1. What is the newest thing in your kitchen?

two wooden trivets.

2. What is the oldest thing in your kitchen?

a copper mold, like for making a jell-o mold or an ice cream 'bombe' in. my mom gave it to me years ago.

3. Name something you might be embarrassed to admit having in your kitchen

i don't get embarrassed easily, so i'd say i might feel more like self-conscious. either the canisters (with sugar, flour, etc in them) that i keep on the floor in front of the lower cabinets (because my snick learned how to open cabinet doors years ago; she can even open cabinets with magnetic closures), or snick's sub-q's set up on one end of a kitchen counter.

4. Name a leftover that's in your fridge

the last of the pasta with spaghetti sauce.

5. Your kitchen's on fire - What would you save?

my new computer cpu. unless, of course, the cats were in there.........then i'd save the cats and go back for the cpu. note: i have 'top of the line' homeowners insurance, like my dad did. mom and dad's house had a very major fire in it many years ago, and that 'level' of insurance made everything go better, smoother, easier, etc for them. so anything that is replaceable, i would have no worries over losing in a fire.
