I went to a fancy kitchen gadgets party last night. It was as thrilling as it sounds.
I went because it was hosted by one of my closest friends whose mother is hosting a series of these parties to earn enough points to take her sister to Disneyland, not because I'm interested in spending $20 on a device used solely for wedging fresh pineapple. (No really, there is such a thing. Who wants to spend $20 on something they'll use once or twice a year? I guess people who have big enough kitchens to store a fresh pineapple wedger that is 9 inches in diameter are the kind of people who can afford to spend $20 on it.)
I wasn't planning to buy anything (in fact, I grounded myself from spending any money) but I ended up ordering a mini-serving spatula (in my defence, my mom has one and it's the perfect size for getting brownies out of the pan) and a small measuring cup for measuring teaspoons and tablespoons (I have no excuse for this one. I have a set of very nice measuring spoons and a set of back-up measuring spoons for when the other set is dirty.) I only spent $20 though, so I'm not too angry at myself.
I am angry, however, that I didn't watch my wine intake. My head is very hurty this morning. This is bad considering the fact that this is an extremely busy week at work. My boss leaves at the end of the week for a month so we're all a bit crazypants. Or in my case, crazypants + hungover.

See, that's how they get you... with the wine. ;)
ReplyDeletei wish i could blame my regular hangovers on kitchen gadget parties. instead of just "i drink too much, frequently. oops."
ReplyDeleteBut, if this is the boss that gives you a hurty head on many an occasion, then isn't it worth a day or two of extra hurty head in order to have a clear head for a month?! Awww yeah!
ReplyDeleteWorking hungover is not nearly as much fun as working drunk.
ReplyDeleteAww, for some reason I adore kitchen gadget parties, but I also adore being in the kitchen. People who know the way to my heart also know to just buy me a cookbook or give me a recipe!
ReplyDeleteI had to go to a tupperware party a few months ago. They're always so awkward because, really, I don't want to by a $20 container!!
ReplyDeleteDamn, girl, you know how to party! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love those parties. And I love kitchen gadgets. What I didn't realize the last time I went to one? They wait for you. Talk about awkward.
ReplyDeleteoh i want to check out some kitchen gadgets. not that i need any, but it'd be fun to look.
ReplyDeleteWas it Pampered Chef? I effing love them. But not their prices :S However, my multipurpose chopper is AMAZING...
ReplyDeleteThe main reason to go to those paties is to drink too much wine. And yea for the boss being gone for a month!!
ReplyDeleteI like to attend the parties, but only because there is usually good food to partake of.
ReplyDeleteThe wine doesn't hurt either (until the next day).
