The Wages of Gear
Too long has spiceblog toiled under the thankless yoke of amateurism and it now enters a new age of income. Thank you Kitchen Warehouse, who asked me nicely. They're actually my first stop on my regular Scarborough Beach Road pilgrimage of mammon. But now, thanks to the internets, you can avoid the dangers of t-boning a desperate right-turning car at Ikea and browse from the safety of your own computer. Current faves are:
an orange toaster
a very sharp knife
a rather heavy tagine
Get clicking.

Oh nothing, their meatball, chips and gravy is to die for. But Saturday morning - it's like the drive to Baghdad aiport.
Hmmm, working now. Click it again (and again)

OMG Le Crueset make a tagine? (Link broke but I went lookin').
And I got the super butcher to sharpen my knives today. Who would've thought you have to clean a steel?

Yeah they do and in a rare moment of selflessness, I gave one to a friend as a wedding present. I'm still trying to arrive unannounced to see if it's they put it out on the oven for my benefit.
Lovely idea, it's amazing how sharp proper sharpening can get knives. I"m just sneaking off to put my steel in some dettol.

Ok, let's click. But they don't deliver to my area of the world, alas, I can't get an orange toaster.

Why, I've been looking for an orange toaster with an intelligent heat sensor! I've so tired of my dumb white toaster.

Ahh for shame, maybe you could paint a local one.

Don't do it! That dumb white toaster loves you. Sure things haven't been too special lately what with the mill closing down and all but you made a vow.

Clicked (as per your instructions!) the orange toaster link, all keen to uncover the secret of how Spicey toasts all those pesky oranges... but sadly the mystery remains mysterious. The link takes you to the tagine :-(

Works for me, Jeanne:

Jeanne, my thoughts exactly! (The link took me only to a tangerine toaster)
So, Spiceman, whatever does one do with toasted oranges and/or tangerines? (Wheeee!)
A tagine would be a very nice thing to have though. But postage on it must cost an arm and a leg!

For a busy man like myself, it pays to have juice and toast all in one easy action.
Robert
Thanks! Actually I think it was a fix of a link that I had to fix. (if that makes any sense)

In Australia we don't have a word for tangerine it is referred to as "the fruit that is very much like an orange but not quite".
I haven't check the exchange rates but that sounds about right.
