Aren’t these adorable? They even have a cute name – Frykats. And Ian (devonseaglass) informs me that they can be shipped by Lakeland in the UK for a small charge. But first I’ll look around here and I also need to do some more online research. One review I read about the Frykat says the vent on top can get burny, and that  it doesn’t work well without the lid on. I certainly won’t want to use the lid all the time. Heh, all the time, she says. I’m pretty sure that BBQing will prove to be a bit of a pain what with having to lug everything upstairs. But I’m also sure that on hot summer evenings it will be lovely sitting up on the terraza after the sun goes down and maybe grilling a light snack…

Meanwhile, my 10-year-old microwave suddenly kicked the bucket the other day, so that is vying for top spot on the “things to buy for the house” list. Have to admit that I only ever use it for defrosting and reheating coffee (well okay, and for making popcorn) and I especially miss not being able to reheat my coffee in the mornings.

Which would you get first?
