My name is Tamar and my kitchen is crammed with appliances!
I keep a kosher home which means that I have dishes (and pots, pans, cutting boards, knives, etc) for milk, meat, and pareve (neither meat nor milk). When I got married I received 3 food processors, 4 mixers, 5 immersion blenders, numerous vegetable peelers, all sorts of crazy gadgets!
Flash forward four years, and almost all of my expensive, wonderful, time saving devices just sit in a drawer collecting dust.
I never learned how to use half of the stuff that I got.
Plus, now I have a toddler, a husband in grad school, an internship to land, errands to run, a gym membership that I never seem to manage to use...
My life is BUSY!
And I don't have time to waste time.
So...I've decided to try and streamline my kitchen! Each month I'm going to pick an appliance out of my crazy kitchen and use it daily, to see if it ACTUALLY makes my life easier.
If it does, then I've got a shortcut to helping me get dinner (or breakfast, lunch, snack, 2nd breakfast, brunch) on the table.
If the appliance, breaks, doesn't work, or doesn't actually make my life easier...
Than either the goodwill or the garbage can is going to be getting a donation from me!
