I got some money from my sister that will turn into a mandolin and a decent peppercorn grinder. I will buy some hunting and fishing stuff with the rest.

I don't need much more for my kitchen besides a new stove.

Ooh, I was only thinking of culinary tools. My husband received a $100 Ruth's Chris gift card, which he gave to me so a friend and I could go to lunch. He also received a very nice gift card to Hebert's Meat Market.

Come to GA, and give me $100. I will make an awesome pan seared thick ribeye and spinnach madeline, with some roasted garlic clove stuffed French bread, browned under the broiler with olive oil, fresh basil, and shredded parm, and a butter lettuce, arugala, tomato, cucumber, red onion and feta cheese salad with home made croutons. Tips are appreciated....

Alma, transportation costs would be more than $100!

Uncle Jack, I agree. (Not to mention that the Hebert's gift card was for twice as much!)

Just getting into cooking a little bit over the past year. Got a Miyabi chefs knife and and Miyabi paring knife. They are supposed to be nice. Anyone know if these are good beginners knives?

We were in desperate need of a good bottle opener, and my wife got this for one of my gifts. I can't believe she spent $50 on a bottle opener, but I have to admit, it's pretty cool. It's got some nice weight to it.
