want.paper.towel.holder.

why a week and a half before your posting more regularly again?? you have been rather 'post quiet' lately.....

[spuzzlightyear.livejournal.com]

No internet at home because I've been po'. :(:(

But now I'll be OMG rich lol

[misstia]

OMG! i'd go INSANE if i didn't have internet!!! i haven't had cable tv in about 10+ years (can't even get local channels) so the internet is how i get my news....i don't have a landline, so the internet is how i mostly communicate with peoples.....yeah...the internet is my world....

glad you be rich again!!!

and isn't it 'inneresting' how internet prices haven't decreased at all the past few years....you'd THINK with the proliferation of users, they could offer lower prices for cable/dsl internet service.....

I start getting twitchy with cold sweats if my internet goes down for more than an hour. Ok, maybe not sweats.

Thanks though Spuzz for your very many contributions, so appreciated. Po' here too, hope you're less po' in the near future. And agree, Miss Tia, but when has the price of anything ever gone down? I think internet access should be a utility like water or electricity, not a luxury. People in S Korea have superfast fiber-optic cable for like, $20 a month.
How competitive can we be as a nation when telecoms own the pipes and everything and can charge what they want?

I have one of those holders, although mine is copper-colored. There's a spot for towels, for waxed paper, and for foil. Fortunately, I'm enough of a fossil that I actually use waxed paper ;)

[mirhanda.livejournal.com]

I have one that is labeled for paper towels, foil and cling wrap. I really love it!

[jazzybabe56.livejournal.com]

YES!! this is exactly what my heart pitter patters for.....I dream of these cannisters at night - my kitchen will NEVER be complete without them............



wow...

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

Well, if your husband loved you you'd have a full set of those right now. Draw your own conclusions. Or maybe you're just not a "deserving" Kitchen Queen.

SO MUCH FOR YOUR DREAMS OF ELEGANCE WITHOUT EXTRAVAGANCE MA HA HA HA HA!

[penguindreamz.livejournal.com]

I love these canisters and would buy them today!

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

this!

[versailles-rose.livejournal.com]

The colors! White! Pink! Sandtone! Yellow! and TURQUOISE!

[thejackaolf.livejournal.com]

I love these! I'm not sure if they beat out my set of staleness steel ones, but so nice, I'd buy all of them *squee*

[effika.livejournal.com]

She doesn't look too happy in the ad to get these canisters-- that's a forced smile if I ever saw one. Probably buttered her all up about a gift, then came home with kitchen canisters. She has needs outside the kitchen, you know?

Regardless, I'd have loved these in turquoise!

And glad to see you'll be posting more regularly again, spuzzlightyear! I miss your posts here.

[whoseline_wlsc]

I like those. I think one of my grandmothers may have owned some of those containers.

[njbearcub1.livejournal.com]

This Kitchen Queen would love them, but I don't have counter space. The flour, sugar, teabags, etc. sit in sealed plastic containers in the pantry.

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

Oh, tea! I was trying to figure out what was next to coffee and I couldn't make it out. It could probably hold loose tea, but they look like the teabagger type to me.

What?

Of course, in my home, like many homes today, I would need at least 5 coffee cannisters for the various blends and roasts and 8 tea cannisters for the pekoe, rooibos, and various types of greens and herbals.

[njbearcub1.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Depending on the year, one of those canisters is filled with Maxwell House or Chock Full 'O Nuts, and the other with Lipton plain teabags. Did they even call them "orange pekoe" or anything then?

[njbearcub1.livejournal.com]

Oh, they would also need a separate canister for kosher salt, and one for brown sugar...

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

. . . and sea salt, and smoked sea salt, and raw sugar, and stevia, and . . .

[njbearcub1.livejournal.com]

...and one for sugar cubes, and one for packets of soy sauce and duck sauce...

He's going to have to put in some overtime to pay for the addition to the kitchen for the room they're going to need.

[donnalee-kiss.livejournal.com]

Those look pretty good, except the massive salt and pepper shakers!
Damn!

[crabofdoom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the shakers are the part I don't get. The shaker tops would make them slow and awkward to use while cooking, and they'd be too cumbersome to use at the table. Unless this couple are the type that just shake salt over everything and don't mind if it's indiscriminate. Blecch.

But, to borrow from James Lileks, theirs was an era deeply suspicious of flavor, so if you're only going to use two spices, I guess you might as well buy (and use) in bulk.

[donnalee-kiss.livejournal.com]

I suspect many got the 4 canister set and maybe the butter dish and opted for skipping the shakers. The fact that they match everything and have big lettering and are square totally works. Matching garbage can is very cool.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Those are neat!

I could use containers like those...I'm a recent arrival to the state of Florida, and I'm still adjusting to all the bugs. Yech.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

Remember: a teaspoon or so of rice in the salt shaker prevents clumping, some bay leaves in the flour canister keeps the weevils away, and you can buy a ceramic disc that you soak in water then put in the brown sugar to keep it soft. Oh and a saltine in the sugarbowl keeps it from clumping. (can you tell I'm from the south? Hee!!)

[ejia-arath03.livejournal.com]

Those are pretty, aren't they? Although I think the insane woman is about to bean the guy with the gigantic flour canister.

[crossfire.livejournal.com]

Do want.

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

I dislike containers with the produce names printed on them. They never match on what you actually have in your cupboard! After sugar, salt, pepper and flour it usually goes haywire ;)

[tanwen.livejournal.com]

Man those things in mint condition are a fortune on Ebay!
