"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance." - unknown

From a purely "what would make my life easier?" standpoint there are several kitchen related items that I could really use. Topping the list are...

• a food-mixer
• a garlic press
  
• and a pair of scissors that stay closed and don't lay, wide open, in the cutlery drawer waiting to take a stab at me if I try to find a fork without turning the light on

The one thing that I have absolutely no need for...and which would take up valuable storage space in my depressingly small kitchen...appetizer plates. Yet what do I find myself casting covetous glances at? You guessed it. But it's not my fault...how can you resist a guy with a champagne cork for a head?
