    1. Oops...no toaster oven. I read that as toaster which I have.I don't get toaster ovens either. Im not a huge appliance person. All they do is take up counter space. If it can't fit in a cabinet...its not wanted lol. Although i swear by our Kitchen Aid.

    2. My Kitchen Aid will always be on the counter. This one is silver, the one before was cobalt blue.

    3. Pre-ground pepper. I can't taste the difference so cheap it is!
    4. Olive oil for some things Canola and/or vegetable oil for others.

  6. Is a coffee maker essential in your kitchen? No. We have a couple in the back of a cabinet. SG says if we make good coffee at home, he'll never leave the house.
    Do you have a toaster oven in your kitchen? No.
    Fresh ground pepper or pre-ground? Both.
    Olive oil, or whatever is on sale? Couldn’t survive without olive oil here. I think we have three different kinds. They are unbelievably specialized.
    Any Olive Green appliances in your house? None. I don’t think they were ever as huge here.

  7. Coffee Maker - Essential.
    Toaster Oven - With just 2 of us, we use it more than we use the full-sized oven.
    Pepper - Fresh-ground
    Olive or Sale - Whatever is on sale.
    Olive Green Appliances - Haven't even seen one since the 1970s. (Didn't even like them then - they always looked dirty to me.)

      We had pale a pale green Smeg toaster and kettle. They were expensive. We didn't like them. The toaster fused. They were replaced with white much cheaper models that work better.
