gadgets that are now collecting dust in our basement. Now, with limited space (not to mention money) I'm pickier about what we purchase for the house. I just don't have room for things that we'll only use once or twice a year. I'm not even really tempted by those infomercials anymore.
Before my friend Lisa moved many states away, we used to go window shopping at the mall several times a month. These days, we window shop together online. Sharing links and emails for things we want to add to our wish lists.
Last year, Lisa surprised me with this:

| Le Creuset Mortar & Pestle Set |
Isn't it pretty? I love it! Not only does it look great on the shelf in my kitchen, I love it for grinding spices. It also comes in handy when I need some oatmeal ground into a powder for adding to recipes such as Lisa's Old-Fashioned Meatloaf.

I inherited several gadgets from my great aunt. One is a 3 blade scissor for making chopped salads. I think I've used it twice in 7 years I've had it. lol
That is a nice set though. I love the color.
I LOVE the blue! I have a red and a green one and I use them all the time -- too cool :)
Blessings!

It sure is pretty. I would love to make shelf space just to show that off in my kitchen.
Hi Alison! Lovin' that great Caribbean Blue, it's just beautiful! Never thought of grinding the oatmeal a bit before adding it to meatloaf, I like that idea:@)
Thanks so much for joining in and Happy Valentine's Day!
It is beautiful! I don't have one!
