I have a confession.
I didn’t want to wait too long before admitting it, leading my readers on, then telling everyone and getting awkward. So here it goes: My kitchen tools aren’t up to par. I don’t own a stand mixer, or a food processor. My double-boiler consists of IKEA pots and bowls stacked on each other. I use a tea infuser to sprinkle confectioner’s sugar on baked goods. Don’t even ask about pans or a knife set. The only reason I use good knives now is because my roommate has a set of Henckels. Which, as a side note, is ironic since his idea of cooking is using a keypad (phone or microwave). I made a berry pie recently and to grind the graham crackers and puree the berries, I had to put small batches into my [roommate's] blender. Which then had me thinking. When did people actually start using some of these items? I seem to be ambling along just find without them, so I’m sure others have for generations before me.
