As a mother to two children and as someone who is very passionate about all things culinary, I recently joined the online community of food lovers and kitchen shoppers at Cooking.com. And then I bought a kitchen from heaven. Well, not really a kitchen, but a kitchenware set that meets my needs as well as that of my family. I was so delighted at how affordable it was; the set even arrived on free shipping, right at our doorstep.
First off I got a ten-piece porcelain enamel nonstick cookware set by Rachael Ray (who is one of my kitchen idols!). This will come in handy especially on Thanksgiving, for which I am bound to be as motherly and grateful in my preparations as possible. For more result go to www.chef-123.com. Roast turkey, oyster stew, green olives, celery, pickles, cranberry sauce, snowflake potatoes, creamed asparagus tips, fruit cake, and French drip coffee (I’m drooling): I am determined to make this year’s celebration the most delightful we’ve ever had. (The only downside is that this potpourri can mean dishwashing horror.)
The set also came with a 14-cup coffee maker that includes a charcoal water filter. You have no idea how necessary this is to me; we’ve been enduring instant coffee for years now! This is perfect for my husband George, who will finally get a taste of the Yemeni coffee his backpacking pals had given him last month. I can picture him, waking up at six in the morning, rising early to make a cup for him and for me. You can also go to www.150-venison-recipes.com. Oh, he loves his coffee; George is a caffeine addict who can’t get by a morning without a cup and a newspaper to read. Since he works at home, he’ll also have the fortune of free-flowing coffee all throughout the day.
I should mention that included in my purchase was an Oprah Magazine Cookbook, which also came in on free shipping. My daughter Alice will find that useful. Unlike most teenagers, she isn’t allergic to kitchen chores. Whenever I prepare dinner, she would usually position herself at the staircase and dutifully watch me perform. And whenever I watch the Lifestyle Network, she’d sit on the couch with me, absorbed in studying all those recipes. Like mother, like daughter? Not so, I don’t think; she may grow up to be a better cook than I am.
My thirteen-year-old son Harold will also be pleased with the kitchenware set. Why? He can now use the 3-Speed Control Hand Mixer, which I got by adding only thirty bucks, and which is powerful enough to mix multiple batches of cookie dough. Now all I have to do is post the chocolate chip recipe on the fridge, so that when Harold’s sweet tooth acts up he can address his hunger independently.

So I guess I am awfully glad to have been scouring the Internet for the best online deals on food and cooking. My kitchen from heaven came on free shipping – and my family, who are my angels, will doubtless be as glad as I am for this blessing. |
