I don't mind washing dishes by hand but I do miss not having a kitchen window over the sink, and a windowsill cluttered with "stuff".
I think there is a big difference between must haves, can't live withouts and things you treasure.
For instance my knives are important to me, I value them as tools and think they are great.
I treasure my rolling pin. It was my gandmother's. I could live without it, I don't use it often but I do think of her when I use it.

Hiding in the oven doesn't work for me anymore, my Mom always looks now to see if I hid dirty dishes in there.

You're doing it wrong! The dirty dishes go in the dish washer. The dirty pots and pans go in the oven.

One is over the fridge and the other is over the stove and hood. Whoever designed these apartments didn't take into account that the elderly shrink when they get older.
I have this great 13" step stool that opens and closes with one hand and can fit in the space between my stove and cupboards. It is so easy a baby can do it. Literally. My 1 1/2 year old nephew was opening and closing it like a pro. So being just under 5' with a tiny kitchen where I have to store lots of things out of reach, that step stool is definitely up on the list!!
Otherwise, I love my calphalon knives, and my microplane, and my adjustable measuring spoon. Goes from 1/4 t, to 1 T. Love it!!

I am also short and would love one of those step stools. Where did you get it?

Um...I'm the dishwasher...
Ooops! In that case, everything goes in the oven with a lock on the door.

Well, I got it at TJ Max, and there is no brand name on it of any kind, so I have no clue where you would even look for it :/ Here's a pic.
You just pull up on the handle to fold flat, and it practically unfolds by itself when you set it down with one hand, and it clicks into place.

Nice looking mill. I prefer one with a crank handle and ceramic cutters, like the attached

Bill, that looks like the one I bought from Penzey's a number of years ago. I also have one of these.

thinking about what i use the most. would you believe it is a spatula. it is a wedge shape no stick one. i realized i use it at least three or four times a day. the other would be my cast iron skillet.

I had a standard Thompson mill many years ago. Then found out the reason my stomach was in such an upset all the time was that pepper was irritating my innards. No more pepper for me. I miss it.
