We had both lived on our own for a while before we got married, so we pretty much had A LOT of household items to combine. He warned me that while he considered most of his stuff good for a garage sale, he had very nice kitchen accessories and that he was particular about his cooking utensils. He said he would not be parting with them. As any woman would, I took this as a challenge. I was not about to give up single thing, after all, everything I had was better. I am faithful to my Tupperware lady and to all of my gadgets that I bought and still used since I was 19 and not to mention, I have fantastic taste.
I remember standing in the kitchen the week we moved in to our VA Beach house, Jason proudly carried in 2 boxes and told me we should unpack the kitchen items first. Unbeknownst to him, I already had unpacked my kitchen boxes and put them in their assigned place. I thought I would humor him and make him feel good and keep a few of his things; after all, I could make the room.
To my shock his boxes were full of everything Kitchen Aid you could ever imagine. Did you know Kitchen Aid makes an egg separator or a dish soap dispenser? I certainly didn’t. He had every gadget you could think of…and some of them he had in two different colors.
I decided to take some pictures for you today, after all, we can use them for insurance purposes should some cataclysmic event happen or there is a thief who really likes kitchen appliances.
The following pictures are just the TIP of the ICEBURG that is Kitchen Aid in my house:
I'm not even sure what some of this stuff is...
The knife set above was an anniversary present, from Jason.I am not complaining by any means. I think his obsession is quite endearing. By the way, I ended up giving boxes of my old kitchen stuff to Goodwill.
So, I know the above post has nothing to do with recipes. Today has just flown by, I have been cleaning so much that I didn’t even plan anything for dinner. It is on days like this that I go to our freezer and pull out my favorite frozen item EVER; Bubba Burgers. I will never in my life buy another kind of hamburger.
I will tell you Bubba Burgers are expensive. We paid over $9.00 for this box of six--that is expensive to us. Bubba Burgers are in the shape of the state of Texas. They are so flavorful and juicy; they are heaven on a bun. Logan always asks for Bubba Burgers for his birthday meal, which took me a while to accept. Anyway, I’m pretty sure that once you experience these burgers, you’ll be a faithful Bubba fan too.
I pan fried them and sautéed some fresh mushrooms in butter and worcestershire sauce, slapped some swiss cheese on the burgers and BAM, dinner-in less than 15 minutes. Sorry there are no “after” pictures, but I was extremely hungry.
