hey Dan,

Great question!

So far I have only cooked frozen dinners in the microwave. I really like Lean Cuisine pasta primavera.... then I discovered my fingers were hurting....SALT!!! I like them because they are full of salt. So I will need to cook. My favorite cooking things have teflon type bottoms and I only use
professional weight stuff. My best frying pans came from Sam's Club.....

Once, when I was first married, the first time I didn't have a stove and lived out of an electric frying pan... 3 meals a day!!! Can you say Hamburger Helper? :p

Now as I don't eat mammals I cook a lot of pasta..... I think I will need to replace the faucet on the kitchen sink so I can get a pasta pot under it. My other necessity is a Cuisinart. I make....brace yourself Doug..... instant coffee...(bring 2 coffee cups just in case)... in a Hot Shot. Of course I
have a microwave.

I can't bear the thought of selling everything so I plan to store it in a container at United Van Lines... or Allied or whatever.
