Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of.

"I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers, blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, melon ballers, sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese knives, electric woks, miniature salad spinners, griddle pans, jam funnels, meat thermometers, filleting knives, egg poachers (mine's a microwave one!), cake stands, garlic crushers, martini glasses, tea strainers, bamboo steamers, pizza stones, coffee grinders, milk frothers, piping bags, banana stands, fluted pastry wheels, tagine dishes, conical strainers, rice cookers (again microwave, used at least twice a month), steam cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, spaetzle makers, cookie presses, gravy strainers, double boilers (bains marie), sukiyaki stoves, ice cream makers, and fondue sets languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards."

Not on the list - I have a strange device for eviscerating pineapples so you can serve cocktails in the empty shell. I have never ever used it, but keep it just in case I have a sudden urge for pineapple-flavoured hospitality. I think my mother gave it to us; she gets carried away in Lakeland plastics sometimes.

Oh, I've got one of those! I've. Used it twice in the whole time I've owned it. Yes, it was from Lakeland.

I have a sudden urge to visit Williams-Sonoma. :-)

Who are they?

They're a vendor of high-end kitchen gadgets and supplies and tableware and stuff. Most of it overpriced ... that posh atmosphere and location don't come cheap.
