Ah yes, the real problem is not a large enough pan for the cheese and potato. This answer we will accept!

Reason 437 why I love my wife.
I’m not allowed this stuff at home but when we’re in the RV I get special snacks.
She went grocery shopping and came back with all my favorites.
Cinnamon Pop Tarts, Donut Sticks, Hostess Crumb Cakes, and Hostess powdered sugar Donettes.
Gonna be a good night.
Yeah, yeah, I see the apples but you can’t dunk an apple in a cold glass of milk.

Saw this and needed to share.
These American food traditions started as marketing gimmicks.

What are your favorite kitchen tools that you have to many of?
I am not sure how I did this. But I think it is easier to have multiple than looking in the washing machine all the time.
Lazy I guess.

Silicone and rubber spatulas. Also wire whisks, but there are different types of those.

The one all the way to the left? I have that one (part of a knife set). The others in our house are various colors, often from Costco. Because yes, there must be at least 2 in each room, thanks to a family full of ADHD.

Knives. I´m still looking for the perfect one.

Speaking of rubber spatulas: I caught my daughter’s boyfriend using my most-chosen silicone spatula to scrap burned stuff off a frying pan that had not been soaking yet. Just, let’s try to manhandle this stuff with a softer material so I don’t damage the pan (his thinking). Great way to ruin the spatula AND not get the crud off.
And speaking of ADHD: he didn’t have the benefit of 2.5 decades growing up with me giving constant instructions to help my ADHD daughter learn stuff, so he can’t seem to remember anything I tell him about functioning in a kitchen. He means well, but my word it is chaos when the two of them are staying with me. Something broken or damaged every single day. And his go-to is to manhandle stuff. If you can’t make it work, something is wrong. Figure that out, don’t keep forcing it.
Grump, grump, grump. I’m supposed to be an empty-nester with a spotlessly clean kitchen by the end of every day. What happened?

I’ve ruthlessly pared down the kitchen tool and gadget collection. My weaknesses are instead spices/seasonings and aspirational baking pans.

Wooden spatulas and spoons.

Hide everything except for the cast iron. Though expect to see it in the dishwasher at the end of day.

I own one silicon spatula and it is only used to ice cakes. If someone did that with mine, I would probably do a lot of yelling.

Plus the baking scale.
I bought the second set of measuring cups as they were on sale, and because my red 1/4 cup went missing. I have since found one matching that description at my sister-in-law’s kitchen, out of state, and while a solitary cup matching none of her other measuring cups is suspicious, I’m too socially awkward to suggest it’s not their cup.

Chef’s knives. We have like 3 of the exact same kind, and a 4th one of another brand. I also have a bunch of small metal bowls i use for prepping ingredients before cooking. A lot of cutting mats/boards as well.

Honestly i’ve skipped soaking my pans for the most part, i’ve found it easier to add some water to a pot or pan that has crud stuck to it and put that back on the heat. Once it starts to boil i cut the heat and scrape at it with a wooden spatula and works great.

I ended up buying a knife roll for my knives after finding them in the dishwasher once too often by adult kids. Now when I’m cooking I pull out the roll and they call me Dexter. I can live with that.
