Just moved the wine collection from milk crates to an actual wine rack.
Ikea, IVAR system. Two 48" struts, two shelves, 8 9-bottle racks, two drawers.
Storage for 72 bottles, the wine journals and other paraphernalia, in a nice simple rack. Total cost: $50.

I actually got excited reading the ****ing packaging. Our old pan stuck like a sonofabitch.
God, after I turn 30 next month it'll get even worse, I just know it.

When you hit 30, you'll grow up and get Calphalon.
Love the stuff. Don't bother with the non-stick line - it just peels off and you have to be careful with it. The anodized aluminum is quite non-stick as it is, and you can beat the hell out of it. Love mine. The heft, the weight, the heat retention, all wonderful. It makes a ton of difference over using anything lightweight.

So, are you a connoisseur?
What would be your favorite wine (reasonable price range, please) with baked, herb cod fillet (no batter)?
How about with pork chops? (Or are you a vegetarian?)
How about with filet mignon?
What are you going to do with the crates?
When I moved into my first apartment, I felt like I was 'playing house' - which was my favorite game as a little girl (except for playing cavalry
It's weird, because sometimes I still feel like I'm playing house.
Scott, a baby?!! Everyone's worst fears, confirmed!

I have the Costco version of Calphalon. I love them too. But I baby those pans. I wash them by hand - not in the dishwasher.
And stuff does peel right off. It's wonderful.

Yeah, no kidding... run everyone! He's *SPAWNED*!!!!
Congrats, Scott.
As for IKEA... normally I'm not a big fan, but the IVAR system is solid wood, minimal, nicely configurable, and quite inexpensive. I use it for storage that won't be highly visible, like the wine rack in the basement (cool, dark, stable) or the 86 linear feet of bookshelves in the office.
My parents moved to a new house, and were trying to sell their old entertainment center. The furniture was about 1.3m high, 1.8m wide and solid oak. My brother-in-law said he could use it, came over with his SUV and himself, and thought he would disassemble it for transport. Informed this would not work, he left to get his brother's pickup truck. My parents asked why he didn't bring his brother because it was so heavy. He looked at my parents a bit cross-eyed. He was confident he could lift the thing himself. He then attempted to lift the thing from one end, and was shocked to find he couldn't even lift it off the carpet. Well, he could tip it. He just didn't even consider the idea that it was made of solid wood instead of particle board. I mean, even ply would have been too much to lift!

I recommend you get a "Ronco" membership card. You know you want that "Flowbee"

I typed rib-eye first, and then changed it to filet.
I like both; but ribeye definitely is more luscious. Slurp.

I've actually thought hard about getting a flowbee. I keep my hair 1/8" all around, and it'd be nice to be able to shave it without having to vacuum afterwards.
Although, working in a hospital does make me feel grown up...a little. I'm responsible for people's well being. But I only have to be responsible one shift out of three when I'm a fire fighter, the shift I'm working as a Paramedic on. Other than that, 8)

Kickaha you'll be a snobby grown-up when you switch to a refrigerated wine rack!
Oh no!!! My mom just got one of those for my dad for Christmas! It's official, they are snobs!
Even though they aren't, but they do enjoy a good wine from time to time.
