Playing "Catch up."

I missed last week's 'This is....' so I am doing two today. Last week's theme was 'This is..... my favorite kitchen gadget.' As always, I found it so hard to choose! I have soooo many gadgets (which my husband will attest to) so I thought I would go with a stainless steel theme.....

• 'La buona pasta fatta in casa' machine (17 years old! I bought this when I was 16.)
• My speedy kettle and loose leaf tea ball - perfect for making just one cup of tea. (The babies at about 2 years old.)
• Part of my espresso machine - good for just one cup of coffee (Already 7 years old!)
• My wavy vegetable cutter and potato press and meat basher. (All about 12 years old.)

I could show you so much more but I don't want to bore you to tears. Did I tell you I could spend hours looking around the chef shop on Elizabeth street?
