WHO PUT THAT THERE ANYWAY?

So last night I noticed that I have a whole lot of things in my kitchen that really don't belong there. This happens on occasion. Half the time I don't know why they are there, how they got there, who put them there, or how long it'll be before they leave again. So I figured they are in the kitchen, so they must be kitchen utensils, right? So I decided to amuse myself.


Yes, I know that glasses belong in the kitchen, but no matter how hard I try I can't get these things to hold milk or water. Also am having trouble finding a matched set. Go figure. Don't know what I'm doing wrong....



No, this is not a laptop. This is a waffle iron. You just pour the batter in, close the lid, and hope for the best. If all else fails, you can print a picture of a waffle. It won't taste very good but it has less calories so you won't gain weight.


This is used as an egg timer for hard boiled eggs. Just put it in the water with the eggs. Feel free to use your imagination though as it won't work. Hey, what did you expect? It says Duracell, not Dura-egg.

Would somebody please explain why there is a partially chewed dog chewy in here? Would you also explain why it isn't at least on the floor where it belongs? Well, this utensil is obviously used as a stir stick. However, after stirring I would not recommend that you drink it. Ugh.

This is great for baking cookies. Very small cookies. Just roll out your dough and cut around the outside for a cookie. Then cut around the inside and make donut holes. Or instead of shaping the dough you can tape it together.

This shampoo will come in very handy if you need to wash lettuce, potatoes, or even carrots for that matter. It will cause them to be very silky, smooth, and fluffy. Not only that, but it's 2-in-1 so you won't have to add moisturizer.

These are great for holding serving spoons, spatulas, or any other serving utensils you may have. It's great because they come in many different colors (and flavors) to match any kitchen decor. You can also get it in Dr. Pepper as well.

You know how hard it is to eat corn-on-the-cob? Well now you can do it in style. This will hold it right on there, and if the corn becomes loose and starts to fall off you can use these to tighten it back up again.

You can never have to many empty paper towel holders. By all means don't throw them away after replacing the towel holder, that would make to much sense. If we get another one, we can attach a line to it and string it out the window. Then we'll be able to talk to our neighbors. Who needs phones?

We are so ready for a party with 100 of these plate-thingys. They look all nice and shiny and hopefully will serve the food attractively. The best thing is when you're done eating you throw them away. No dishes!

So, what kind of strange "utensils" are in your kitchen today?

The shampoo and screwdrivers are my favorites....well your descriptions of how to use them most efficiently in the kitchen.

Hmmm, I have quite a list of my own that I could come up with! LOL
And don't give my husband any ideas about using screwdrivers to hold corn! LOL

My kitchen has laptops, keys, mail, flyers ... the list is endless. By the way, I'm jealous that someone took off the paper towel roll and put a new one on. I'm forever reaching for paper towel, only to come in contact with the empty roll!

We have tools in the kitchen, too!!

Everything lands in my kitchen, too.

Too Funny!!!! We have an island in our kitchen that is the catch all... I can always find intresting things there. :)

Sherry said...

LOL! Let's see. I have a scanner on my counter that needs to be moved to the computer, sunglass clips for my son's glasses, 2 cell phones and I'm sure other things that I can't see from here.. LOL!

Darla said...

I'm ashamed to tell ya!

Darcie said...

Honey you don't even want to know what is on my kitchen counter right now and what I could do with them. Maybe my family would be more careful with what they left there if they knew I could potentially use it for kitchen use. ;-)

We like eating off of our picture frame plates. I could feed a party of about 20 from my kitchen:)

Angie said...

That was too funny! I'm sad to say that I no longer have a kitchen counter...it has become my husbands office. My kitchen now reminds me more of an office/breakroom combination. We just eat around all of his papers & bills & little post it notes with phone numbers all over the place. I can feel your pain.

Deborah Ann said...

What a great way to blow off some steam. By golly, we'll make these thing useful for the life of us! Lol...

{sigh} my kitchen counters tend to be our catch-alls. It's really pretty bad. Love the post!

Oh, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO glad those spoon holder also come in Dr.Pepper style. Whew!

The weirdest thing on my kitchen counter? Maybe it would be the live turtle in his little aquarium... he goes by "Lily" if Riley's talking to "it" and "Mr.Turtle" but all the rest of us.

Too funny! My list of things would be too long to post here in the comment section!!! LOL

Nan,

It truly does make me wonder how these things turn up in our kitchen after all. I hate it when my kitchen magnetizes things to come to it that don't belong there. Perhaps they arrive so that they will be put away where they truly belong. Go figure.

Ha! Your kitchen is just like mine! I always have an assortment of flotsam on the kitchen counters too. Right now, my favorites are a lip gloss with no cap, 3 pipe cleaners, a flashlight, a baking pain with tools in it (my husband is up to something), a partially eaten package of FunDip, and a pink Disney Princess sock.
