Time for some interaction from the readers. I have yet to receive a comment on my new blog; so, either no one is reading the blog or I just have not been interesting enough to elicit any kind of response from the reading body. In an effort to get some people involved, I want to hear what everyone's top 5 favorite things in the kitchen are. First, I will share my top 5 favorite things in my kitchen.
1_the Santoku knife. Everyone has a favorite knife. One that no matter what needs chopping, dicing, or mincing always ends up in your hand. This J.A. Henckel knife is awesome. I love the way it feels in my hand whether I am chopping some basil or carving up a chicken breast.
2_the mixer.
Alright alright I will admit that one of the reasons this is in my top 5 of the kitchen is because it is cool as hell looking. I love the way this looks on my counter. I have only used it a couple time in the year that we have owned this fabulous piece of machinery. But, it does look pretty damn cool and don't act like that pink isn't the bomb.
3_the coffee cupsI love these cups. My wify got me these for Christmas last year. they are a bit big for an espresso and a bit small for a black coffee. But, they are perfect for a macchiato (my favorite espresso based drink). I have been trying for the past year to master a macchiato, I have been struggling a bit with the espresso extraction, but that is a different post for a different time.
4_the Emeril pans
This is a beautiful pan set. Whether or not you are an aspiring chef on a budget or a seasoned vet, you can't go wrong with this set of hardware. And, they look pretty on your stove top.
5_the wine opener
All the way from Chianti.

i feel like the kitchenaid is a sign of domestication, marriage, and/or some weird expectation on a wedding gift registry. i like how they look too, but i can't say i exactly want one. :)
here are my top 5:
1) food processor
2) 6" chef's knife
3) tea kettle
4) nesting bowls
5) silicone spatula
HA! I have to agree with tessa - the Kitchen Aid is Klunky. but the Emeril Pans look pretty amazing! O_o (I think we registered for them too)
ok. klunky I will give you...but I really love the color. The Emeril pans are a good choice, you won't be dissapointed.
