I confess:
I love my kitchen gadgets!
The Professor has (in vane...) tried to put a stop to my madness by saying that for each new thing that comes in to the kitchen - one old thing has to go out...
It proves that he doesn't do much cooking, doesn't it?
But, I kind of know it is madness.
The cupboards are full.
But in my defence, I do use them (at least most of them)!
After a summer in hotter climates than we normally live in and after consuming numerous bottles of fizzy water, Our Boy and I decided we needed a gadget to make our own fizzy water. Thankfully, Our Boy normally agrees with his mother in these issues and with two against one (The Cat did not count this time), The Professor had to give in. He had already heard about how my best friend in Oslo has had one for a long time and Our Boy and I have secretly been very jealous when she has been raving about it... Even further justification came when I saw that Fru Fly had also bought one the same day as we had and was very happy with hers (her pictures are much better than mine).
We all love it.
No more running out of fizzy water.
No more heavy bottles to bring home and
no more adding plastic bottles to the landfill.
And, we drink a lot more water! We don't really care for other types of fizzy drinks - it is the fizzy water that rules here!

I feel rather rightous about this purchase.
Another purchase I have been contemplating (secretly, of course) is an icecream maker.
Chance had it that my colleague has one and lent it to me before the holidays. We never got around to making any until today.
How great is this!
In 20 mins I had lovely creamy icecream.
All natural ingredients (milk, cream, sugar, eggs and chopped up chocolate) and no additives (except for in the chocolate, perhaps).
Hmmmm... might still be harder to justify this purchase seeing that I am determined to loose some weight this fall...
Might have to leave buying this till next summer as a reward if I manage to loose the weight I want, perhaps???
He, he!! Boblevann maskin er nok lurt, men iskremmaskinen er ikke lur, hvis du skal slankes...... Vi har en, eller mer den mellomste datteren har, og den er aldri i bruk!! Så jeg holder en knapp på ferdig kjøpt.... Har du prøvd Ben&Jerry?? AnneK:-)
ReplyDeleteÅ brusmaskin husker jeg vi hadde på 80tallet...:) Visste ikke at de kom i ny drakt!
ReplyDeleteIsen så digg ut...nam!
Ser at disse er i vinden nå, hadde gjort seg hos oss også :) Lekre er de i tillegg -så den hadde sklidd inn på kjøkkenbenken -om enn kanskje ikke umerkelig.
ReplyDeleteIskremmaskin hadde vært oppen, jeg jobbet på isbar i mange år da jeg gikk på skolen -og er ikke lenger så veldig glad i is.. Men resten av fam elsker det! Kinkig det med vekt og is, hvis man har en hang til iskrem -i uendelige varianter... :)
KKos deg på søndagskvelden!
Klem fra Tove
Hi, hi, klart du må ha brusmaskin! Så innlegget til fru Fly og, så nå er det like før vi får oss en sånn boblevann maskin her i huset og. Ser jo veldig fristende ut. I motsetning til professoren, så tror jeg nordlendingen hadde jublet:-)
ReplyDeleteMen det som fristet aller mest var den iskremmaskinen. Nam! Litt fullt inni skapene her og,men vi skal alltids klare å skvise den inn:-)
Klem
Is it a soda stream? They're all the rage here too, and I'm hoping to get one for Xmas! Funnily enough I was going to buy some flavour when we were over (in anticipation) but I realized that that really was madness!!
ReplyDeleteHe he, man får det vel som oftest som man vil, bare man maser litt...
ReplyDeleteKjekt med en slik brusmaskin.
Ellers så er jeg fortsatt sykemeldt og orker nesten ingenting, men det kommer seg vel etterhvert.

Så artig at vi kjøpte lik maskin samme dag!:) Vi har brukt opp en patron allerede, så mye er den i bruk her i huset. Kanskje litt ekstra gøy nå i begynnelsen da, men tror nok vi kommer til å bruke den mye. Ismaskin også ja? Den fikk jeg VELDIG lyst på, men tror jeg lar være...hihi. Ha en flott dag! Klem fra Heidi
ReplyDeleteHi-hi alle disse tingene vi ikke kan være foruten:-)
ReplyDeleteHåper du har hatt en fin sommer, det har jeg:-)
Fortsatt fin uke og så blogges vi.
Klem Ingrid
Hehe...
ReplyDeleteKos deg på kjøkkenet du! :)
Klem
Hei, så hyggelig at du vil vær med på giborten min;)
ReplyDeleteEr så glad jeg bare liker vann uten bobler, så slipper jeg maskin for det:D
Kos deg og klem fra meg;)
Sånn boblevannmaskin står på min ønskeliste også - og iskremmaskin da...hmmm....nei, det er vel best å la være å få det i hus ;)
ReplyDeleteKlem
Sarah - yes, it is a sodastream. Without flavours are best!
ReplyDeleteThe icecream machine has been returned to my colleague. Just can't have that in the house now! ;-)
