For the Bride – Our Favorite Kitchen Things
Fridays call for a fun blog post. This has been the Summer of Social Events for us, including, (drum roll, please) my little sister is getting married! And for her Bridal Shower, we were asked to bring one of our Favorite Kitchen Things for the Bride-To-Be.
First, let’s review the Family Tree.
There are three of us “older” sisters who are already married:
Melissa, Julie and April
And now, our baby sister Kristin will walk down the aisle on 10-10-10!

So back to her Bridal Shower and these Kitchen Things. As I mentioned, Kristin’s BFF, Cammie,
Kristin and Cammie
made the invitations and in them she asked party-goers to bring a Favorite Thing for Kristin’s kitchen basket. It could be a gadget, a recipe, a spice, etc. This was a great idea. However, as a a self-proclaimed “Kitchen Person”, I had a hard time deciding what I would put in the Bride’s basket. I have so many favorite things. I often say that if stranded on a desert island, I would bring my Pampered Chef garlic press. Or OXO measuring cups. As for recipes, where would I even begin? Oh, the pressure of it all.
I was very curious to see what Favorite Things the other Shower-Goers brought for Kristin’s basket. No one seemed to mind that I was taking pictures of everything in there!
There was the Leopard Ice Cream Scoop:
The Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (one of my favorites!):
The “Eggsact Egg-Timer”
And a Brushing Beauty for scrubbing those pots and pans.
There were cookbooks…
and recipes.
So, what Favorite Kitchen Thing did I put in Kristin’s Kitchen Basket? After a lot of deliberation, I decided on a beautiful rubber scraper from Williams-Sonoma in a lovely shade of green (her favorite).
This is no ordinary rubber scraper. It is heavy duty, much like the Pampered Chef Mix’N Scraper, you can use it to mix things and scrape things. It’s one of my most-used kitchen gadgets. I think Kristin is going to love it!
Question of the Day
What Favorite Thing would you put in the Bride’s Kitchen Basket?

A good quality chef’s knife. I couldn’t live without one!

The Rabbit wine opener. It’s a life saver. =)

I gave her the egg timer. I use mine weekly. It goes right in the water with the eggs, and tells you when they are perfectly soft or hard boiled.

I would put in kitchen scissors…..I use them for so many things.

I gave Kristin the “magic Erasers” I love them and I know how much she like cleaning!

Wow…that’s a tough one! I love the “brushing beauty”, by the way – so cute
I’d probably have to say my Williams-Sonoma cookie sheets – I use them for baking and roasting veggies, so they get lots of use!

I think kitchen scissors. Why most cooks do not use them is a mystery. Since Kim above said scissors, my next choice would be a microplane. I use it for cheese, zest and nutmeg. It is a lot easier to wash than pulling out the Cuisinart/grinder.

hmm, this is tough. scissors are pretty useful in my kitchen though
