This thread is making me realize how blessed I truly am. I don't really
need anything (except a repair job on that POS Cuisinart food processor).
I'm more in "need" than "want" mode in the current economy. If you put a
gun to my head and make me answer, the only thing I've been lusting for in
the kitchen is that !$*&!$*#@$%@ microwave/convection oven about which
Chatty Cathy and George Shirley have waxed rhapsodic. Now that would be
rather nice! But my ancient behemoth microwave given me as a hand-me-down
from my late grandparents when I moved here 14 years ago is still alive and
kicking and until it croaks, I'll do just fine.
