Got distracted and bought a panini press, love it.
Did the grilled cheese for the kids, French toast (even French toasted a sliced up blueberry muffin - recommended), made apple and blueberry compote and filled some flour tortilla shells (little butter and icing sugar on the outside), turnip cake, breakfast burritos, red peppers, asparagus, onions…haven't tried grilling a squab yet, but it's only the first day.
Still looking for a blender, boss says to keep it compact and simple - and inexpensive (:nono: on the Blendtec or Vitamix) - but she likes Kitchenaid (so maybe the five speed on sale) or the Ninja (if it comes on sale again).
Have to go make some waffles now.
