The Girl Scout in the kitchen.

Recently my cooking implements have become quite the 'gag reel' at the Smith household.  First you must know that if you could name a kitchen tool, I have it and use it, however at a moments notice I NEVER think to use it.  Maybe it has something to do with all my years as a Girl Scout, it's not a challenge if I open the drawer and use the strainer to rescue all the noodles from Cheetah's soup, I must use a silver meat fork.


Why use a spatula to get a slice of pizza from the toaster oven when a silver pie server works just as well?



When removing my fresh baked bread from the bread machine I lie it ontop of several skewers on a baking sheet (part of my toaster oven), instead of the 3 cooling racks that I have...


The cooling racks also don't get used when removing cupcakes from the oven, I use the insert to my toaster oven...


Now when I need to pour icing on my petit fors I DO use my cooling racks...


In my kitchen everything does have a purpose, it's just not what the factory designed it for.
