Les actually brought home one of those hot dog toaster deals. That thing was a waste of space and I tossed it! lol He is the gadget man! I don't want a lot of gadgets that only do one thing taking up space in my kitchen. I need that space for pots, pans, cookbooks, bowls, etc. |

I am the gadget queen which is why I avoid looking at these types of catalogues. Anymore gadgets and I will have to buy a bigger house. |

I love gadgets, but after years of collecting, I have begun to cull the collection. Why in heaven's name I bought one of those apple segmenter/corer thingies, I have no clue- but it's headed for Goodwill or some other charity. Howevever, I'm in the market for a tart-lifter. Guess gadgets are part of my genome.
