New Kitchen Booty

Every time I get close to buying one of those fancy new G1 phones, something seems to get in the way. 

On Friday, it was the Bloomingdale's One-Day Home Sale.  I drove down to the MOA to check out the sale, since I knew there were a few big ticket items that were more than 50% off.  And initially, I wasn't impressed.  But then, as I walked out of the store I kept thinking about something I'd seen there.  And on the drive home I kept thinking about it.  And then, sitting at the bar at Azia, I was still thinking about it.  And when I got home, I had to tell The Mexican about it, and he convinced me that I should drive back and buy the Waring Pro Professional Buffet Server and Warming Tray:

It was, after all, marked down from $250.00 to $79.99 for one day only.

So we drove back to Bloomingdale's, where he also happened to see something that I actually did not notice on my first spin through.  I obviously needed the DeLonghi 3-Pound Stainless Steel Dual Zone Deep Fryer:

Which was marked down from $125.00 to $59.00 for one day only.

Last week, I made some kickass double-cooked french fries with the mandoline that Mark sent me for my birthday; I fried them the old-fashioned way with a pair of tongs and a pan of bubbling oil.  But now, with my fancy new deep fryer, it will take less than half the time to make them and my stove and countertops won't be spattered with grease afterward.  Fresh tortilla chips, hot potato chips, empanadas, doughnuts... I'm super pumped.

That warming dish has fun party times written all over it.

I still have some of the old timey Corning Ware warming dishes that use a candle to keep them warm....not that I use them for that.

I could never own a deep fryer.... I'd die approximately 10-12 days later from frying everything you could imagine. I think I could go for some wings and onion rings right now... mmmmmm... be responsible with that thing!!!
