A Little Kitchen Gadget Haul

I don't suppose haul posts are really expected, but I have to show you this.

I guess alot of you know when you have a mooch on ebay you'll see listings from China, that are really cheap, usually I would click 'UK Only' but I thought I'd give it a go.

So here's what I bought from one seller:



I know, curious, right? What on Earth are they? Well let's play a little game.

First off, yes you can see the label and it tells you what it is, albeit in broken English.

So, what is it?



It's a lid stand! Honestly, I don't know why I bought it. Probably for the novalty of it. Then again it may save my counter top from wet patches, plus it's red and I want my kitchen red.

Next, what do you suppose this happy guy does?



He's a peeler! I had to have this guy when I saw him, he just made me smile! Imagine, you have to peel a carrot or ten, that's a task right there, pull this guy out the drawer and you'll smile and get on with it, bliss.
I love the packaging too, how cute!

Finally, what is this odd contraption?



You make crisps in the microwave with it! I actually bought it for Craig to play with, because he loves potato chips, so let him play around with it.

So that was my little kitchen gadget haul, I'm still waiting for an egg seperator, so I'll show you that once it's arrived.
I may show these in use at some point.

Weekend Overview #6

25th - 27th November 2011

Friday

Craig had a gig and I was ill so there was no point to me cooking that night, so we did the next best thing, ordered takeout.

We'd heard about Just Eat for a while so we checked it out and ordered from a local chinese (I'll do a write up once we've ordered from different places on there). I had Duck with ginger and spring onions with a side of pineapple fried rice and Craig had a chicken curry.

I loved my dish but the duck was quite fatty, I like crispy duck. I'd never had proper ginger either, and it was yum! The pineapple rice was fantastic too.

Saturday

Festive menu at Burger King, had to try it. Craig had the Steak House Angus and I had the Festive Chicken Tendercrisp. Again I'll do a festive fast food review once we've sampled some more delights.
They were delicious.

I wanted to try liver, so I cooked it all nice, looked good, hell it even smelt good. I took one bite and gagged. Not a liver lover. Craig didn't like either so we chucked it out and I attempted omlettes, though I must've been having a bad day because they didn't do right either.
But Craig liked it so it was all good.

Sunday

I really cheated this night. I was so fed up I cheated and cooked coconut curry from a jar, threw in some microwave rice. But at least the turkey breast was fresh, is pre diced.
