As I already mentioned, we didn't bring a whole lot of stuff with us when we moved. Other than clothes, books, personal items and some home decor, we really didn't bring much else. We left all our small kitchen appliances behind. There were especially 3 kitchen appliances that I LOVED and would have wanted to bring:
- Green Apple Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer, that I bought myself only one year before the move
- AllClad Waffle Maker that Chris had gotten me for my birthday a few years ago
- GE blender with a glass jar, that provided us an endless supply of smoothies
Almost 6 months after the move, we still had not bought a single kitchen appliance. Our rental house came with a microwave, we've used our manual whisk when whipping cream, or mixing cake batter and our hands to knead pizza dough and we've even done without a toaster. Finally today, after some research, we went out and bought an Åviken 905 double waffle maker and a Wilfa BL1200 blender and so we had waffles and smoothies for lunch. Yummie!
I wish I could get a new Kitchen Aid mixer, but it will have to wait. They are so much more expensive here. If it wasn't for the fact that you either needed a converter the size of a shoe box weighing a ton or replacing the motor of it to make it work in Europe, I would have brought it.
Next purchase on my list, is something I did not have in the US. A bike. We bought Chris a bike 2 weeks after getting here, that I've been riding all winter, but now I need one too, so we can go on bike rides together.
