WOT?!?! Shaming someone for buying kitchen candy? Here on DC? And you started this thread!! YEESH!!!Sorry, PF. You must have low resistance. I can look and look and still not buy. Either I have a high resistance to shopping, or a very high level of cheapness.
Cooking became more of a hobby than a necessity when I cut my working hours to part time four years ago. Since then I've bought way more cooking toys than I need. Want is a different story. If I were to list what I have in my kitchen I'm sure I would be way up there on the list of people having an excessive amount of stuff. But, it's one of the things I do for fun.
My other major interest is cycling. I have 4 bikes, and between them I typically ride 3,000 to 3,500 miles per year. Not that I need 4, but having a variety makes it more enjoyable. Besides, it's a good counter to my eating, and my doctor encourages it.
