Gleefully Rubbing My Hands Together
Look at all the new toys I got at my friend Ashley's Pampered Chef party:
Let's see, there's the 9x12 oval baker to replace the one I had years ago, only this one has a lid and it's cranberry glazed on the outside. There's a small oval baker that will be perfect for sides (I've already baked mac & cheese in it), and a loaf pan that I've already used. Then for the toys there are a half dozen of the little quickcut paring knives that are so sharp and versatile, kitchen shears, a tart former, a cut and seal dumpling maker, and a couple of herbs Ashley was nice enough to throw in.
I have to say that I'm not usually a big home party product fan but Pampered Chef is my one exception. I love all of their products. I'm probably the only person who doesn't use the stones but I use all of their other crocks. I love the way all of the bakers, including the loaf pan, brown food and keep it warm on the table or at a potluck. And I've never bought any tool from them that was shoddy.
I'm not shilling for them. :-) I'm just excited. Can't wait to play.
It's a little treasure cache. Is there anything more inspiring than new cookware and kitchen toys?


Well, you know that I loves me some cookware! That's one of my favorite things to get! So, congratulations!

I have the tart tamper and have given them as gifts too -- GREAT.

It all looks so excellent! I went to a Pampered Chef party about 5 years ago and I still have and use everything I bought.

too bad we can't have a blogger Pamper Chef party - now that would be a hoot!!

New kitchen tools look great! Good luck with you baking adventures!

No. Nothing more inspiring. I linked from ButtaBuns, and love your cache of stuff! I just got the icing gun (no idea what it's really called, but icing gun sounds cool) and can't wait to use it and post. I'm in a cupcake phase, so it should be a good thing (for cooking) and a bad thing (for the pants fitting thing).

Sher--Thank you! It is fun to get new cookware.
Alanna--Cool! I do that too, get extras of my favorites because I figure if I love them, others will too.
Sara--See? That's why I like P.C. so much. All of their stuff is extremely durable and handy. I reach for P.C. tools before anything else.
Rosie--That would be awesome, wouldn't it?
Ulla--Thank you!
Kt--Cupcakes are fun. They're my favorite to decorate, I think. Good luck with the icing gun. Let me know how you like it.

Ooh,I'm jealous of the 9 x 12 baker especially. Fun new stuff! I want a baker like that and also a nice quiche pan...

Lisa--Thansk! I've been covetting that baker for a long time. I had the one without the cover but this one I can't wait to roast in. I'm with you on the quiche pan although I have my heart set on a new tart pan...
