kitchen gadgets what to keep what to pass along

uh oh freemotion...now you did it, lol

our long term goal is to be self sufficient on a little farmette,
growing our produce, meat, eggs, and milk

I feel like I am sort of stocking up for then, buying things and saving things from the garbabe that may be useful then,
I even bought some fencing at a garage sale for $1
but sometimes I look around at all of this junk and wonder if I will really use it,

the canner and small roaster just might be nice for feeding or watering some of the animals we intend to get, since I already own them why would I want to buy proper feeders that would cost money?...the warmer well, I don't know maybe it would be use ful on a farm some where I never thought of...see I could think like this for ever, the farmer in me would have the barn full of junk that I may use some day...(thinking back longingly to my great uncles farm sale after he passed and all of the stuff he collected for just in case,...I loaded up my car 10 years ago with as much of it as I could for my just in cases, )

well, I was pretty close to pitching some of the stuff, lol, and, weel, now, I guess I am going to reconsider


I also have a basement full of small tables that I keep getting tempted to toss,(7) but I get a little itch that tells me those would be nice in the various little barns and coops I will own someday...someday
cause it is always nice to have a table to work on isn't it,lol

I am starting to think I wont be able to clean to much of this stuff out after all,

If anyone has a pasta maker they would like to sell (or barter?) please let me know! My mom has one (she lives in NC) and I'm currently borrowing it (in MD). I'd really love to have one of my own!

I LOVE our little yogurt maker. The jars are just big enough for The Wife to take in her lunch or me for breakfast!

We use our pasta maker about 6 times a year and we love it.

I haven't made ice cream for about 3-4 years now, but you couldn't pry my White Mountain freezer away from me if you tried!!

Pressure canner? We have TWO. 'Nuff said!

Electric dehydrator? We have a 12 tray stainless steel model and use it quite a bit.

Ice tea maker? TOSS IT!

Extra bread maker, dented? TOSS IT and while you're at it, toss the un-dented one as well!!

Black enamel small roaster with lid? We use ours for cooking TWO ears of sweet corn, out on the side burner of the grill.

Warming tray, Fondue pot and Wok?? TOSS THEM!



That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
