SISTER WISDOM

Don’t you want to go play too?

Four Foods on Friday is hosted by Fun, Crafts, and Recipes blog. Someday I’m gonna be on the FFOF Regulars list. Yes. I have a dream.

#1. Are your Kitchen utensils nylon, silicone, wood or other?

Mostly wood, with a few random nylons and others in there. My favorite is the big hardwood paddle I got from Williams-Sonoma. It’s a perfect stirrer/scraper/flipper, and, oh yes, paddle.

#2. Do you prefer dishes washed in a dishwasher or by hand?

I love my dishwasher.

#3. How many sets of dishes do you have?

Ohhhhh. Too many, but kind of an odd collection I guess. I have two or three boxed up in the basement (mainly wedding gifts), one set boxed up in the garage (inherited from Mom), and what we actually use on a daily basis is a combination of a set of Blue Willow – which doesn’t have any bowls with it – and a couple of sets of bowls, one from Japan that my sis-in-law got me.

#4. Share a recipe that calls for only one pot or pan.

This is what I’m making for tonight. I guess technically it calls for zero pots or pans; you just need one slow cooker. I’ll be gone all day, so it will be really nice to come in and actually have dinner mostly made. A batch of rice to go with, and we’re set.
