Wish List...

As the mother of soon to be 7 children, I have thought many many times of a couple of things that would make my life just a tad easier, free of a little more time, you get the idea. I am certainly not complaining about my situation... I'm just saying that as a homemaker of a Gluten Free household I spend an amazing amoutn of time in the kitchen. And I'll tell you a secret: I don't like to cook. Never have. I enjoy baking, but even that has limits. These are just not my passions.

That said there are a few items one day I would like to have:

1- a pasta maker! Have you seen the price of GF pasta on the self?!

2- a donut maker! We make several dozen at a time, so we can freeze lots. I Had a dream about a donut maker and fell in love!

3- A working Bosch! I have one, but right after the warentee expired it busted! Yes, I cried. My kitchen aid dies 3 months beforehand. Which is why I cried.

4- A hand held mixer... a good sturdy one. I don't even buy them anymore, they all break within days.

5- An unbreakable set of mixing bowls! We have a son, who drops a lot of things, and usually I don't mind. But I'm down to 1, count it, ONE mixing bowl! Can you imagine Christmas?

6- A few glass baking pans- I check out every garage sale I find, but others know their worth as well as I do.

7- I'm not sure yet, but I'm sure there is something!

Like I said, I'm not complaining. I have 4 little girls who love to help, and when I have the time, I also have a 6 yr old boy who loves to as well (he just spills and drops things a lot... and NO, of course I don't TELL him this!!!). So I may have 3 little girls stirring the same batch of muffins in three little cereal bowls one morning, and that's okay. It's kind of cute, actually. But on days when I am in a hurry, it's not so cute. I cannot begin to cook and freeze meals for a month until I at least find some more cookware, and mixing bowls. But I usually am not in too big of a hurry.

Well, I gotta run and pull those baked donuts out of the oven, and throw in the last pan. But before I do, I KNOW that all you moms out there have a list like mine. A list of things you'd just LOVE to have fill you kitchen counters. We dlight in great dishes, we thrill at a great mixer, we tingle with anticipation of a good bread maker, or pasta machine. Why you ask? We have these very natural feelings because our job would take less time, be a little more fun, and less demanding if we had these items... or at least we THINK so ;)
