A happy new year for everyone. I can’t believe my favorite time of the year has come and went already. I’ll have to wait 7 months ’til I see the first sign of Christmas at Costco.

I didn’t buy anything special today.

Bona – this is a wood floor cleaner. 

AA Batteries have an expiration date of 2022. 

Then I have my first Costco hotdog of the year. It was a good time.

I hope 2013 will go by slowly. Time fly too fast for me.

Happy new year again. I will keep in touch.

For many years, I wanted to some REAL mixing bowls. I was happy to see Kirkland Signature Mixing Bowls at my Costco warehouse. I believe these are special items. Once they are gone, they will not come back for a long time (or they will never come back). This is one reason I go to Costco weekly. You don’t want to miss out on good stuff.

Pro & Con: These are not as thick as the ones I saw at Bed Bath and Beyond that I liked. I can see rich folks will find them too thin. There are better ones (thicker ones) out there. But, if your standard is not as high, they are great buy. To me, they are perfect.

I’ve been using a cheap plastic bowl from 99 Cents Only Store to mix pancakes. So, this is a big step up for me. I wanted some good mixing bowls for the last 10 years.  I can finally afford them.

* Sorry, I forgot how much they were. I lost my receipt. They were $29.99 (maybe less ?).

I enjoy my time in the kitchen. Quality kitchen items make my time more enjoyable.
