At the mall there was a kitchen specialty store I wanted to shop at and finally I would be able to go. For six weeks I saved my money for this day. Now I could get what I needed for my kitchen.

The first item on my list was a countertop microwave. The one I have is old and not all the buttons work anymore. I was looking forward to purchasing a newer model. A lot of time had been saved every week by my using that kitchen tool.

Making a decision was not an easy task. There were so many to look at and they all had a variety of features to choose from. I finally decided on a model that had more features than I was even looking for. Having made a choice I knew I would be happy with I placed it in my cart and started looking for the area with baking dishes.

I needed to purchase a new cake pan. I baked almost every week, alternating between cakes, pies and cookies, and this pan was essential. The one that had been in my kitchen had not been returned last time I loaned it out. There were many aisles of cake pans in this store so I would have many to choose from.

I walked down row after row looking at all the choices. Every brand I had ever heard of was here, many in a variety of shapes. Then at the end of the third row I had gone down one caught my eye. This would fit in for everyday as well as many holidays as it was a heart cake pan. This pan would fit in well with my other baking paraphernalia too. I also needed some spatulas so I went looking for them.

Taking care of my purchases was exciting for me. I wanted to use them all right away. Reheating a bowl of rice in my new microwave would have to do for now. It only took a minute for my leftovers and I knew that I would save a lot of time with this unit on the nights I did not care to cook.

I put away the rest of my new kitchen tools, as I was not going to bake tonight. There was a bake sale coming up and I could use them at that time. In the mean time I knew they would fit in well in my kitchen.
