Try me now, I'll try anything

Things I learned last night: do not, on any account, attempt to make fresh breadcrumbs in a motor-driven meat grinder.

No good will come of it.

I'm glad you're thinking ahead about this. Allegedly most kitchens in Britain are clogged with unused gadgets. You can't even get rid of the electrical ones to charity shops.

Come to think of it, now that {gulp} my cooking days are mostly over, if you'd like to inherit a food processor, I have one that works just fine that I'm no longer likely to use. I'll post it to you if you like or you can collect it in person.

PS not for the kitchen you have now, from what you say. But maybe in future.

Oh thank you, that's a very kind offer! If I decide I really do have a need for one (and space for one) I'll get back to you. Much better to rehome an unused one that buy a new one. Though obviously I'd be even more pleased to hear that you'd found you were able to use it again yourself!

I am a dreadful sucker for kitchen gadgets, actually. I have to give myself a good talking-to every so often when some single-use item pops up and flaunts itself and sounds so indispensable. I fix it with a Paddington-like stare and it usually concedes that, actually, I seem to be doing just fine without it :)
