I think my most expensive single item is a ceramic kitchen knife. They're not cheap now but I bought it when they were pretty new ('86 maybe) so I'm pretty sure it cost more than the food processor.
Yes, he'll be here all week ladies and gentlemen. Be sure to tip your waitress.

Nuffink gov! I'm too cheap to buy anything shiny and expensive; I hesitate to mention how long it took me to talk myself into getting a pestle and mortar.finn17 said:So, what have you just bought?

Generally Me.
While I can cook reasonably well, I tend to make:-
1) a serious mess
2) use expensive ingredients
3) make twice as much as we can eat

The coffee pot!!! The only thing it doesn't do is drink the coffee for you.
Suggest you look at investing in a vacuum machine, mate. I've got the same problem as you - cooking for 8 when I really should only be cooking for 2 - but since I got the vacuum machine, I've cut down drastically on the amount of stuff I toss out. Food lasts a lot longer when it's been vacuum sealed. I've done a lemon-and-oil drizzled fish that I cooked, chopped up, and sealed that lasted for 3 weeks in the freezer. It hadn't gone off, which is pretty amazing.

stuff in the freezer goes off?
Not for me. I've had too many experiences of storing raw and cooked stuff in the fridge that go bad after a month or so. And no, the freezer was working fine.

A lot of times this is simply a case of freezer burn. It causes discoloration, sometimes odor, and can cause food to have a bad taste but it's not rotten. Freezer burn is usually caused by too much air getting to the food - thus the results of the vacuum sealer make perfect sense and the fact that gohkm no longer has an issue.
Learned that lesson the hard way myself.
