Besides peace of mind, what would I like to find under the Christmas tree this holiday season.
Let's stay practical with a few cooking and dining items.
For the kitchen, a rice cooker to start as I never had one followed by bamboo kitchen ustensils (like those below from TruBamboo) to replace the plastic ones. A pressure cooker would be nice (I might start making yogurts again). I definitely need a new wok and most certainly a good crepes pan.
For the dining room, decent wine glasses and champagne flutes, a slate board for cheese, a black salad bowl (makes colors stand out), last cotton napkins and napkin rings to dress up the table a bit.
Nothing extravagant.
I shall see what Santa brings.
