Still on the cooking theme...last night I went to a home party. It was a "Taste of Home Entertaining" party. They have some very nice things, but a little expensive for my budget. I'm willing to pay for good quality kitchen things but I pretty much have what I need, though I did buy a mandolin. It's one of those things I've wanted but never think to pick up when I'm in a kitchen store. They have beautiful entertaining dishware, but I own a lot--mine though came from Princess House and it's mostly crystal and glass so goes with anything and when I don't have something I borrow from my sister cause she has the Pampered Chef stuff, so I mix and match.
I own lots of Kitchen Aid--knives, cookware, mixer, small food processor, blender. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for",when it comes to kitchen items, at the same time I don't like paying for a name. This is one name I will pay for cause it stands the test of time.

Paula's Toffee Gooey Butter cake--ohhhh myyyyyy...so moist and delicious. The neighbor who had the party last night happened to make Pineapple Gooey Butter Cake and that was so moist and delicious also. Think I'm gonna try the peanut butter one next.
Tonight's dinner--Goulash, I usually only make it in the winter but Jim asked for it and it makes great re-heated lunches for us this week. Not sure what else I'll try this week--maybe clean out the freezer of the meals that are there so I can start again.
Happy Cooking....
