Birthday/Christmas wishlist (after all my b’day is just two months and two days away, so hurry up!)
Posted by G under Wishlist
– a food processor (I won’t ask for over-expensive Bimby, a simple Kenwood FP would do — preferably 600 watt minimum, thank you): I need one to mix ingredients for fake pizza, energy bars etc. I only own a minipimer. Seriously. I don’t know how I survived without a real food processor until now, honest;
– a Montegrappa or a Conway Stewart fountain pen;
– a year supply of A4 drawing paper notebooks;
– a size S new Scotland replica shirt (home version);
– a one way ticket to Edinburgh (not necessarily for birthday or Christmas, it would be a much appreciated present any time.)…
(to be continued…)
I can no longer get by without a food processor either. It’s madness. She’s the girl for me- http://www.kitchenaid.com/flash.cmd?/#/product/KFP750OB/.
carrieitly — I’ve coped without one until now, but most recipes off Brendan Brazier’s Thrive book can be done only by using a food processor. Mixing chickpea and oat flour with sesame seeds can be done in a bowk with a spoon, no problem, but, e.g., I can’t properly chop dates, nuts, blueberries and whatnot really finely with a knife to make energy bars (actually, I could, but it would take me ages, not 2 minutes as seen on youtube). I *need* a food processor!
As for point 1., my food processor (the one you plug into the socket) has been broken for months. Luckily I also have a former slicer/dicer/pot washer, trained in a French kitchen, who only needs plugging into a pint and some sleep every once in a while. Chops, slices, dices, fast and accurate.
Whenever that one breaks, then I’ll be in serious trouble.
As for point 6., I can only second if it includes a stopover in Sale. We miss you Big Sis’!
:-D
Stef — miss you too! And of course I’ll make a stopover in Sale, plus also remind that an Edin to Manchester (and other way round) train journey is way cheaper and takes less than going from Rome to Manchester ;)
We also need to do something about Il Tram Numero 8, since it stops by your house, it stops in Edinburgh, but not in Sale.
:-(
Stef — are you sure? Thought the tram route was Casaletto – San Giovanni di Dio – Ravizza – San Camillo – Ponte Bianco – Trastevere – Pascarella – Ippolito Nievo – Piccadilly Gardens – St.Peter’s square – G-Mex – Cornbrook – Trafford Bar – Old Trafford – Stretford – Dane Rd – Sale – Gyle – Edinburgh Park – South Gyle – Saughton – Balgreen – Murrayfield…
Now that’s a tram I would take every day!
:-)
[...] I’ve also realised I need to add a graphics tablet to my wishlist. Post tags: Always look on the bright side of life, Chris Paterson, niece, Robert Burns, William [...]
