Top 10 Kitchen Wish List

1. Gemini Double Oven Range

Okay, I know this is an expensive item, but if you don't ask you'll never get. As a baker, the idea of having two ovens just blows me away. I like the fact that the Gemini has two ovens, one small and one large. Instead of heating up a huge oven for one small dish, the smaller oven is perfect. Best of all, just being able to bake a roast and homemade bread at the same time is worth the price.

2. Nordic Ware Castle Bundt Cake Pan

This is the coolest looking pan yet. I'll admit I've already got 6 or 7? bundt cake pans already. What's one more? I'd also love to get the clear Cake Keeper as well.

3. CD Player for the Kitchen

I'm tired of having to "borrow" my daughters boom box to listen to music in the kitchen. I can turn-on our television and listen to satellite radio, but it's just not the same.

4. Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer Attachments

What's the point of having this really great mixer (see my favorite kitchen tool below), when all you can do is mix with it? You get the food grinder, the slicer and shredder, and the pouring shield. Plus they also have attachments that you can make pasta and juice fruit.

5. New Kitchen Furniture

Our kitchen table is in terrible condition. Anytime someone cuts their food the entire table shakes and drinks spill. We've fixed the legs over and over again, but it just doesn't last long. Our present table is oblong, and I want a round one. I've love to get one like in the restaurants that starts as a square table and it becomes round. I'd also like rolling chairs to go with it.

6. Wood Flooring

When we were operating our personal chef service and catering business, we worked in a lot of home kitchens. The very best flooring by far was wood. It was great for the feet and the back. I also love the versatility you get from using various rugs.

7. Roosters

Okay, I know you're saying "Roosters?!" It's just that I'd like to redo my kitchen theme. Right now it has a a muted fruit theme. You know how the wallpaper gets positively gross over the years. Well, it's time for a change. I just love all of the roosters you see everywhere. Plus their colors aren't too different from the colors I already have.

8. Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker

Okay, I'll admit it. I've already got an electric ice cream and a hand-crank maker plus with the option to borrow a couple of others. But, I just love soft serve ice cream. It's just so smooth and creamy. Yummy!

9. Garbage Disposal

Yes, it sounds boring, but I'm tired of having to use a plunger in my kitchen sink.

10. Whirlpool Microwave Hood Combination

I would love to have a microwave over my stovetop. Our hood is old, so this would be the perfect home improvement as well. Whirlpool makes the microwave we want. It has a bi-level cooking rack as well has a turntable. It cooks fast on high (due to the 1000 watts) and then slower for a much needed warm cycle. Unfortunately, we just got a new microwave and I'm sure it'll be a long time before I get this one.
