I've been baking, but just your average fair. A couple pies, cookies, a quiche and cream puffs (The cream puffs might get posted depending on my ability to take a photo before they are eaten.) Time is short these days and to be honest it is hard to keep food around for long with two growing boys.
In light of my lack of baked goods to share, I have a question. What would you buy if you had $100 worth of gift cards for Williams-Sonoma? I was given this gift during the holidays. I have been flip-flopping for a month. Do I buy a few smaller items or put it towards a bigger purchase? (ugh!) So, I thought I'd ask you. What would you buy or what do you use the most?
Camille,
ReplyDeleteI have too many...
let me short it out then get back to you. But first, I've to go to my kickboxing class, okay dear?

Without checking out the drool-worthy catalog, I'd have to say I NEED a covered casserole. And I only seem to realize this when I go to prepare something and I think "I could really use a covered casserole"! Or a tangine! Oh, yes, that would be lovely, too!
ReplyDeleteUmm, that would be tagine... I suppose it would've been more "Archie Bunker" if I'd said tangerine. LOL
ReplyDeleteI can't live without my
ReplyDelete1. braiser, and it more make sense if you get the biggest one. here it is: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/c218/index.cfm?pkey=cdutch%2Dovens%2Dbraisers&ckey=dutch%2Dovens%2Dbraisers
2. Pizza stone, very usefull if you bake bread a lot. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/sku1242981/index.cfm?pkey=cctlsptpiz
3. I only drink carbonated water, so I make my own. If you are like me then this one will help a lot. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/e196/index.cfm?pkey=xsrd0m1%7C16%7C%7C%7C0%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7Ccarbonator&cm%5Fsrc=SCH
That's all Camille, hope the link work. Oh I also like Cicada's suggestion "tagine pot"

I would buy bakery pans and goods/tools and the like that are useful and always need, remind myself to buy but never do!
ReplyDeletehehe
I would buy a whipped cream dispenser and a paella pan. Good luck on that decision! There are so many options!
ReplyDeleteCamille-
ReplyDeletei can't make up my mind easily...as i have too many things in my list. But i would go in the store and let my eye wonder around. Or if you have something that you absolutely need, i would go for that. Enjoy dear!
tough decision... i am really in need of some basic baking stuff, like muffin tins and sturdy cookie cutters, so i would probably invest in some of that...
ReplyDeleteOoo, I love Williams Sonoma! The stuff that we use the most are the not-so-exciting stuff. Their spoonula-type things. Their microplanes. Their bowls that can pour. The things you'll never go back from =D.
ReplyDeletea little copper pot, perfect for melting butter or heating a little cream for a ganache. it always seemed a bit unnecessary, but if it's a gift, shouldn't it be indulgent?
ReplyDeleteI love Williams Sonoma! Their things can be a bit pricey so your gift certificates will go fast. I alway check out their "sale" link and I've been lucky to be able to buy many of their Nordic Ware shaped cake pans of the years ..I don't know why but I love them all!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a waffle maker or a panini grill? I'd think both would be used quite a bit with two growing boys. How about an immersion bleander? I love mine!
Oooo lucky duck! If William-sonoma wasn't soo pricey, and only in the US I would totally shop there everyday! I be completely broke :( So, maybe it's a good thing there aren't any in Canada!
