A new start

I would like to have some silicone items, but it's not worth getting rid of the very fine other things I have collected which do the same things. So, I remain silicone free (in more ways than one!).

I shall check out the ceramic peeler.

When I moved into my first solo apartment, my mother and brother surprised me at my new place with their car stuffed with everything I needed, including pots and pans, dishes, and utensils. They also bought me a tv. My mom really thought of everything, including a tool kit with picture hanging accessories, and a sewing kit. Life is impossible without scissors.

That's a good point -- I have a small tool kit with different kinds of screwdrivers, a few wrenches and plyer (needle nose and regular). Plus a hammer, a box of nails in various sizes, stuff like that.

I have a toaster oven but no toaster, so I'm not sacrificing any counter space.

This whole discussion has been really helpful for me. I didn't think of things like sil-mats, which I should definitely have, and scissors!!! Of course, who can live without scissors. And a sewing kit...

Oak - thanks a lot for the tip on ceramic parts. Maybe I need some ceramic parts for my bike too.

My Ultegra RD has a ceramic bushing in one jockey wheel (not both, for some reason).
