In case you don’t follow the sister site, Just Hungry , last week we got home from attending my father’s memorial service in New York to find out we had been burgled in our absence . Among other things, they took most of our ‘temporary’ kitchen equipment (we are still in the middle of renovations…) including the working hotplate, the microwave oven (which was also a convection oven…so handy), not to mention my food processor, KitchenAid mixer, even my stick blender. continue reading...
