Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of.

I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers, blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, `melon ballers sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese boards, cheese knives, electric woks, miniature salad spinners, griddle pans, jam funnels, meat thermometers, filleting knives, egg poachers, cake stands, garlic crushers, martini glasses, tea strainers, bamboo steamers, pizza stones, coffee grinders, milk frothers, piping bags, banana stands, fluted pastry wheels, tagine dishes, conical strainers, rice cookers, steam cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, spaetzle makers, cookie presses, gravy strainers, double boilers (bains marie), sukiyaki stoves, ice cream makers, fondue sets, healthy-grills, home smokers, tempura sets, tortilla presses, electric whisks, cherry stoners, sugar thermometers, food processors, bacon presses, bacon slicers, mouli mills, cake testers, pestle-and-mortars, and sets of kebab skewers languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.

My additions: mixer, sushi presses or mats, cheese molds, yogurt maker, electric box grater, electric carving knife, sprouting jar.

I looked at this list with a bit of "huh?" Why do you need a cake tester if you have knives? Also clearly all the meat stuff is not required. Breadmaker, food processor and ice cream maker all now combined into kenwood along with electric whisk and gizmo for turning dairy product into cream.

..was awesome.

Willis mainly fired a big gun while Gordon-Levitt acted him off the screen. Manages to look like a young Willis and yet completely not David Addison.

A great, no nonsense time travel flick with a discussion I cannot recall the exact wording of but goes something like (is set in a diner)

"I don't want to discuss time travel shit. It gets complicated and before you know it we're drawing diagrams with straws."

Also creepy children and a cornfield.

General release Friday, GO SEE!!

(Totally fails Bechdel test. 2 women with speaking parts and names, one woman with no name and no lines. Never meet. OTOH none of the men are sympathetic characters and I think everyone comes out badly.)
