Here are some of my favorite kitchen items that are simple, inexpensive and fun:
1. Condiment cups
For tartar sauce, for ketchup, for anything. We use these almost every day for Morgan's afternoon snack: baby carrots and "dippin' sauce". Love 'em. Plus, it has an old fashioned "diner" feel which makes dinner feel a tad more special.
2. Pastry Scraper
I use this puppy almost every time I bake, especially if it's something with a lot of crumbs. This gadget easily scrapes crumbs off of the countertop and into the trash. Try picking up beaucoup crumbs with your washrag and you've essentially got a rag which redistributes le crumbs all over your counter.
3. Chinese Strainy Thinger
Okay, so I don't know the official name. Close enough.
Anyhoo... I bought this at Mei.jer for less than $5 and I LOVE it. Perfect for scooping out broccoli out of hot water or getting a tato out of the pot to see if it's done enough. This is the perfect blend of "slotted spoon + strainer". Love it.

I must admit those are very cute condiment cups. And I have to get one of those strainer things too (I've seen them used on lots of cooking shows...I believe they're called spider strainers).
Those are super cute condiment cups. And I like the Chinese strainer thingy -- both seem very handy!
