I love your punch bowl story. When did everyone become so averse to sharing? I remember as a kid, we would share with/borrow from the neighbors all the time. No one would think of buying all of the stuff for a birthday party or gathering, they would ask neighbors to bring extra chairs or extra dishes, etc... seemed like such a civilized thing.

Its another quick meal that can be cooking, and we don't even have to be in the kitchen. I also like the safety aspect of not having so many different kinds of cleaners in our kitchen. I recently gave away a bunch of extra things from our kitchen, loike a punch bowl I never used. My friend couldn't believe I was just givng it to her, since it was such a nice one. I just smiled and said that if I ever needed a punch bowl, I now know of someone who I can borrow it from. We have recently enjoyed discovering the joy of baked potatoes in our crockpot.

This should mean that a lot of 'just like new' crockpots are available at 2nd hand stores or moving sales if cost is an issue.

I don't have a crockpot though. My mom kept that when she moved. And her mixer too. Great tips. I don’t have a crockpot though. My mom kept that when she moved. And her mixer too.

I still have many things to experiment with. Thanks for commenting. Hi Kevin, It's a Henckels, I think in the 4-star series. Definitely get the one that is much heavier (and more expensive), the balance and steadiness it provides makes a huge difference. You can basically sharpen this indefinitely.

Overall though, a good idea. We're paring down our "stuff" while we pack to move into our new home next week. I need to get a new chef's knife though, our old one is from a set we got as a wedding gift and it is junk. What brand do you use?
