I mean, that's 8 tastes without burdening the dishwashers with more to wash before you have to wash your hands. |

Its a strict rule at school about not using fingers and always using a tasting spoon . |

| | In order to maintain sanitary conditions, I touch my elbow into the sauce and taste off of it. Afterwards, I lick my elbow completely clean before using it to clean my ears. Of course, I spray my tongue with bleach first.

| | ha! you guys are funny
People keep saying radio/music. I keep finding myself turning the music down when I walk into the kitchen.
Then it finally dawned on me: OMG! I am that guy!
Guess I got old... ?
Anyhow, besides the obligatory tools, I need a food mill.
You can keep your Robot Coupe and your immersion blender, just give me a food mill, please. |

| | My silicone spoonula. Oh, and towels. Mandolin. Cutting boards. Ok, that's it. Oh, and my scale. That's really it. No it isn't -- garlic press and micro plane. Ok. I need it all. I admit it, I'm a kitchen gadget junkie. My two K.A. mixers are proof. |  | |
