What a fun thread! Mine's still in its infancy, and most of it links right back to stuff I like on SE, but here it is: http://neverturndownacupcake.blogspot.com

I've been writing Croque-Camille: Food adventures in Paris for a little over a year and a half, and I just started a mini-blog called Seasonal Market Menus, which is all about cooking from my CSA share.

Here I chronicle the rolicking ride that is my relationship with food! (And family, with some book reviews thrown in)

Look, all of us want more blog traffic, and there is no way we can read all of our collective blogs, but we should really make an effort to check out at least other 5 SE's blogs if we post our own in this thread --after all, not fair to 'shill' if you don't help others out!

What is your opinion on Pampered Chef products?

Just don't buy their wok! I have exchanged mine twice now, and they just DON'T hold up. The handle fell off two of them before I exchanged them, but they ding up really easily as well, and don't conduct heat the way a wok should. I've really given up on even using it. They LOOK nice, but that's the most that can be said for them. I haven't bought any more of their cook wear since that purchase. Oh, I bought the exact same tin opener at Safeway for $5.99 a few weeks ago. It works like a charm The one I bought is by 'Good Cook', I have quite a few things from them and they are all good quality for much less than PC. Oxo is another favourite brand from the grocery store, although for most of my 'expensive' purchases, (knives, pots and pans, etc. I, too, use the restaurant supply stores. Since I'm a chef I get a good discount too. I am simply NOT impressed with the PC gear. (I found their spice mixtures to taste 'old' even when I first bought them.) If I were you, I'd check out the cook book titles. I LOVE cookbooks, and I'm sure I have at least 200 already, but I read them in bed, just like other people read novels. (Of course, as far as actually 'following' a recipe, I usually don't. They're mainly for 'inspiration', except for those on baking.)
Still, they're usually among the less expensive items on offer. Good luck!

I have a few PC items bought in 1987-88 that I aboslutely, positively cannot live without. I can't begin to tell you how much I used them over the years when my six sons still lived at home. They are: the whisks, which have never rusted or come apart the way all my others did; the ice cream scoops in three sizes that are wonderful for portioning meatballs, cookie dough, muffin and cupcake batter which have also never rusted or come apart; the powdered sugar/cinnamon sugar sprinkler; the cheapo paring knives with the white plastic handles; and the giant glass mixing bowl/measuring cup with snap-on plastic lid that didn't break when one of my granddaughters dropped it last week. Those were good investments for me.
