As I near the passage way to my thirties, Their are certain things I'm realizing I need...Well not actually NEED, as I buy anything I want, But things I should have and do, break off the shackles of irresponsible adolescence and become an adult, for instance cooking and having actual cookwear. I realize a lot of people are good at cooking and do it often, not that I cant do it, I just Don't. Being happily Single, Busy and Fabulous, I eat out almost every meal of everyday. It's easy, and I love good food, getting dressed up and trying new restaurants.
But today was different, I was enjoying a leisurely afternoon and evening reading, watching movies and admiring all my weekend purchases, when I had a growling in my flat, toned tummy, since it was a lazy Sunday I decided to run down to my favorite take out Mexican place, instead of going anywhere fancy. But as I stepped outside it was incredibly snowy, which made me question again why I chose to live in Utah, but figured it was a question for another day, and I would just make the short drive to get my food. It wasn't a short drive, but a slow one. The roads were pure Ice, even large trucks were moving at glacial speeds, luckily I am a great driver, and my jetta really is a snow car, eventually I made it to the intersection where the restaurant was only to see it was closed, Luckily there was a great Chinese restaurant at the same intersection...that was also closed. In fact the whole area was closed, because the power was out.
I was without food, I didn't want to drive any further and I had nothing at the house, except maybe granola from wild oats I had purchased only because the packaging was adorable, but surely any milk I had would be bad by now.
So after a long, slow drive back to my place I sit here knowing, that for Christmas, I'm going to Williams Sonoma, and buying myself a set of pots and pans and coordinating accessories, So the next time this happens, or say, I want to impress my future husband by cooking him a gourmet meal I'll at least have the accessories.
But where does one go for designer food?

Don't do it! As someone who has spent hundreds of dollars on kitchen gadgets, and used each of them one time, I urge you to continue to support the local restaurant economy! I think of all the shoes I could have purchased if only I didn't "need" a new melon baller, or avocado slicer, a third set of measuring cups or a fancy jar opener and I weep. It's better to go hungry...
