Success at the Kitchen Swap

Cafe Drake unloaded some cookbooks and spices etc and in return scored at the Brooklyn Brewery Kitchen Swap. Denizens of the neighborhood, those culinarily inclined, swapped out unwanted or unused items for new kitchen swag. A grand time was had by all! We left - wallets intact - with a Le Creuset No. 29 casserole dish, a kelly green mid-century Italian saucepan (ICM!!), sake set, a much-needed candy thermometer (very useful for deep frying etc), an immersion blender still in the box etc etc. Now this is the kind of guilt-free shopping we could get used to!
