That reminds me, I have an ice bucket in a cupboard somewhere - just another thing gathering dust

Oh, I can't bear Earl Grey Joe ... it's like drinking perfume. I like good old builders breakfast tea

I have a punch bowl with little cups - never used it - maybe I'll do mulled wine in it at Christmas ......................then again - I probably won't.

They look very pretty with some ice and a nice bottle of vino blanco in them.
The 60's/70's had a lot to answer for............Bliddy plastic tea strainers.......what were they thinking?!

I've got both.....metal and plastic

I think I bought something similar back from Lloret De Mar in the 1970s
I don't think I've ever owned a tea strainer - I can get quite excited about kitchen gadgets but .........................not a tea strainer I don't think. I used to hate tea at home (as a kid) when there were grouts in the bottom of the cup. I still leave (and always have left) about half an inch of tea in the bottom of my cup even though I've always used tea bags! Old habits die hard.

That's what I love about you, Soozy - you're so decisive
Has it got little hooks to hang the cups around the bowl...?
I had one as a wedding present and remember setting it up, placing the hooks carefully on the lip of the bowl, hanging the cups onto the hooks..........and then watching each and every cup drop and smash to pieces
Hmmmm, I am off to bed now ... but instead of counting sheep I shall mentally walk through my kitchen cupboards and list the many items in them
Night all - good thread Sprouty
I had a set of bamboo cutlery once - bought it on impulse - it was bronze - I only used it once or twice - when I moved house and emptied a cupboard it had all gone green! I gave it to my friend who was helping me move - she said it cleaned up a treat - I wonder if she still has it 24 years on!

That's cos you never had a strainer.....

Night all - good thread Sprouty
Night Rexi - and goodnight all from me too
Night nite peeps xxxx
Nite all Good thread. What's on the agenda for to morrow?
I have a potato peeler - I think. I haven't used it for a hell of a long time. I use oven chips and buy small 'boil yourself' potatos
I have to say..........I may be buying a halogen oven so maybe more healthy cooking is on the cards
What do you do for mashed taties? Now there's another thing - potato mashers - my husband took mine to work (we are in catering) it got lost - I'll be buggered if I can find a decent potato masher since!
A potato ricer is your (soon to be) new best friend, Soozy.
I've often wondered about them - are they good?
How boring are we?
Maybe I'll ask my mum to get me one for Christmas - I asked for a kitchen blow torch last year - it's still in its box unused
I may do Creme Brulee at Christmas - or Baked Alaska maybe.
Soozy, I got a potato ricer a few months ago - it makes the best mash ever, I love it.
Our cutlery is an old 1930's set that we inherited from MrB's Grandma....I love it...it's nice and heavy and so unusual. It's a huge set and has serving spoons and everything. The forks and spoons are one piece and the knives are two piece!! I love cutlery too...and I prefer the older styles as there is something very comforting about them..and the weightier it is the better!!
We have one of those potato ricer things too.....brilliant invention.
My fave kitchen gadget is an old cast iron mincer from about the 1930's too....it is just gorgeous and still works perfectly, no rust and as sharp as ever....great for the arms!
I may move into this thread!!!!!
But have you got a new Jam Pan?
Did you buy up all the 10p pomegranates? ........ My OH insists on bringing me carrier bags full of fruit with a smile on his face (thinking he is pleasing me) expecting JAM!!!!!!
Ahhhhh...I know the one.......The Magic Cooking Pot ...If Mrs Jer finds one, tell her to tip me the wink
Now you mention it Pam i had too go and buy and some extra yesterday as i didn't have enough for the amount of guest's i have coming
Ooooooh hello - a bit late (been decorating) - missed all the knives and fork talk tonight - I bought a melon baller today - reduced to 75p in Morrisons
I'm very excited about the pomegranate jelly ................................I'd love to know how it turns out!
Ooooooh hello - a bit late (been decorating) - missed all the knives and fork talk tonight - I bought a melon baller today - reduced to 75p in Morrisons
I understand you can use it on veg too, Soozy. Carrot balls, potato balls - the world's your oyster veggie ball..!
I've got a - don't know what you call it really - but it julienne's vegetables. Looks like a peeler but with lots of serated teeth. Shreds the veg uniformly and is great for stir fry or when ever you want ribbon-like root veggies.

We really all should have a weekend get together when we all bring our obscure kitchen gadgets (and lots of veg) .................................WOW - the fun we could have
Somehow "I'm going to compare veggie cutlery" doesn't sound quite like the usual way to pass a weekend We could always include corkscrews though..!

Now you're talking ..............................I have all manner of them. Screw tops are good though!

Amazing!! I had never heard of it before and was surprised to see recipes online. I used half the ammount of recommended sugar and juiced a lemon and a lime. The taste is rich and deep.
