regisdream?

isn't it a little sad that unless you're getting married it's not normal to register for gifts? maybe if i'm still not married by the time i become a lawyer and have my first real "permanent home," i'll just have an "i'm a grown-up" party and register for that. like a "housewarming plus."

here are some of the kitcheny things i would put on my registry. i was inspired to write this list down while reading "back issues" of alison's blog. she mentioned the first item a while ago. without further ado, my kitchen dreams:

gadgets and tools:
- oil mister (instead of using pam, you fill the spray bottle with your preferred oil)
- mandoline (for pretty slices)
- good spatulas (safe for good pots/pans, won't leech/melt into the food. yay!)
- pepper mill
- food mill (mashed potatoes made any other way are just wrong for me)

cookware:
- pots with glass lids with adjustable vents and a steamer insert
- dutch oven
- tart pan (with the separate bottom, so you can remove the tart/pie from the pan easily)
- springform pan (vital, no?)
- pizza stone

appliances:
- slowcookers in large and small
- rice cooker
- food processor
- high quality immersion blender (i figure if i have this and the above, i don't need a blender)
- obviously, a kitchenaid tilt-head stand mixer, without which no woman is complete

other:
- a sign that says "i only have a house because it came with the kitchen"
- a real fireplace in the kitchen - i know i can't register for that, but it's my dream. sigh.
