We're not big on the gadgets around here either. It's amazing what you can get by on with a little ingenuity and old-fashioned common sense.

I know sometimes people call squirrels "rats with bushy tails," but I'll take them over real rats any day! Makes me shudder to think about a rat going after your tomato plant.

Rats make me shiver…ew. Especially hungry ones. Hope whatever it is stays away from those plants!

Three months ago my husband & I downsized from a 1200 sf casita to a 30ft travel trailer & now we're downsizing from that into a horse trailer with 10ft living qtrs. Talk about learning what's really necessary in life! My latest greatest kitchen find is a collapsible salad spinner, which also serves as a colander and a serving bowl. We're vegetarian, so salads are a daily meal. Also, the wine opener=)

Great tips, as always. Half a cookie sheet? Never knew about those. And tongs…love mine, can't get along without them. There are multiple uses for those!

I love the idea of half a cookie sheet. Who knew? Stick blender is a must have for me. And, I like mini muffin tins for making smaller portions.

My favorite tools: Vitamix Blender, MagicBullet, Citrus Juicer, good set knives, small cutting boards, stainless steel measuring cups and spoons, glass measuring shot glass, glass pyrex measuring cups, glass smoothie straws among other raw food gadgets.

I'm not nearly as pared down as you — I'm still cooking for four — but no matter what size my kitchen is, I want my big, sturdy wooden spoons!

Oh my goodness. I've never heard anyone talk of a tomato being sheared off at the base like that. Seedlings, yes, but a big plant? I don't have any idea what it could be, though.
