The dog, the guitar. For kitchen, a cast iron fry pan, a nonstick frying pan, and a big saucepan for doing pasta/rice/whatever. A good paring knife, and a good chef's knife. I have a toaster oven but never use it cause it is too much work to clear the bread, etc off the top.

And at least 4 stacking laundry baskets-every place I have lived, I always started out with one and bought more.
