Last Thing You Bought?

I got this new food processor! Mine was really old, and the bowl was cracking at the parts that start the mechanism, and leaking.
It's alright, very lightweight and is easy to store and clean, but it really became obvious my old one, which was given to me, was very good, and probably more expensive than I'd pay

I bought a crockpot. It's oval-shaped, which I'm not crazy about, but all of the round ones were all computerized/digital and I wanted one with just the knob for the high, low and warm. It was pretty cheap, too. Only 23 bucks with a coupon at Bed, Bath and Beyond. And it comes with a locking handle in case I have to take it to a dinner or a party or something. I like that feature a lot.

Ooops! :p Bought my favourite brand of frozen veggies in order to take them to the summer cottage, and my mom has forgotten them in the freezer at home:confused:. Now we'll see what's in the village grocer, if there is anything at all:???:

I have a large oval shaped one and a small round one. I actually use the small one more and it is on my work top.

I like that this is 6 quarts, as my other was 4 quarts, so it will be handy for sauce and things like baked beans. I can make nice big batches for parties and all. But I used to make a crockpot cake that probably won't be possible in this size and shape. Perhaps I can find a suitable recipe that would work in the oval one.

Nice! I love ceiling fans.

Indeed. They were a common fixture in Malaysia (where I bought this one), but are not very common in Germany.

Typically, when I tell somebody in Germany about wanting to get a fan, the standard answer is
"What would you need that for? You would not be able to use it for more than 5 days every year"

But, seems that now my family will get some good use out of it in the rest of September...

My son said: "Well, it's nice ... but it looks like it is from the 80's" ...
to which I answered "You have no idea! If anything, it is supposed to look like something from the 1880's " ;)

That's a nice ceiling fan! I've been wanting to replace the one in my bedroom, which is broken , but I can't seem to find one I like. I like the old-fashioned-looking ones, like that one, not the modern ones that are all plastic-looking.

ETA: Also, the comment about not being able to use the fan for more than five days a year seems a little short-sighted, with climate change a reality and countries all over the world experiencing their hottest months and years on record. It's certainly true for the US. The earth is cooking due to elevated greenhouse gases, and a lot of people wait until they're schvitzing to get a fan in the home.

Fans are nice just to circulate the air, even if it is not hot out. We don't have much of a summer where I live, but sometimes I open the windows and run my fan just to get the stale air out. Plus it's nice because I had it installed in the room adjacent to my kitchen. If I burn anything on the stove, I can open the sliding door in my living room, turn on the fan in my bunnies' room, and push out all the bad air.
