Santa Came Early

So yesterday the family undertook the daunting task of dividing up Joanne's personal items. After a few stop & starts, we actually got everything equitably divided in an agreeable manner. I was really proud of all of us, because it was not something I think any of us really wanted to do, even though it was time.

So Cash & I went through some of the kitchen items. He assured me that he does cook, and uses most kitchen items. But the few things I scored, I was as giggly as a five year-old anticipating Santa to come dropping down the chimney.

Kitchen items of note:
Electric Skillet (I only have one recipe I cook with this: Joanne's infamous smothered steak. Will need to come up with more.)
Trifle Dish (Both sister-in-laws said they had one, and neither used it. I'm seeing more of a chip holder with this one.)
Bundt Cake Pan (had to borrow from Norma one time when I need this for a recipe)
Large Covered Deep Casserole (Bigger than I'll really need, I'm sure.)
Deviled Egg Platter (the better to serve with!)


Well, that's the majority of kitchen items that I was excited about. Of course, I'm getting other miscellaneous furniture & accessories, but we still have the holiday items and family photos to go through. At least, I can look forward to it with less anticipation.
