pots and pans

I have wanted some new pots and pans for a while now. The ones we had were collected over many years and they had all seen better days. I admired a very nice mid-price range a couple of years ago but could not persuade Mrs McMuffin that they were worth the money. However, yesterday I saw them in TKMAXX for less than half the price that I would have been willing to pay for them all that time ago. They still looked like mighty fine pots to me. Mrs McMuffin hatched a cunning pre-birth, nest building, everything has got to be cleaned NOW, plan. She agreed that I could get new pots if I sorted out the ones that we have and cleaned out the cupboard where they are stored. After a couple of trips to different TKMAXX stores I was able to get us a variety of pots in different sizes from a little baby milk pan through to a huge 6 litre stock pot. I also got a new griddle pan, a saute pan and a couple baby non-stick skillets. I got the lot for about £150 which is quite a bargain as far as I am concerned.

I thought the clearing out the cupboard was going to be the hard part, but when it came down to it, it was dead easy. I just chucked everything out!

Now all I need is a new Le Crueset saute/casserole pan and a steamer and I'll be away.

It is all very satisfying.

By the way, Happy Easter!
