Kitchen? Check. Now what?

There comes a time in everyone's life when they need to stock a kitchen, but what to put in it (besides food) is a daunting task. In the upcoming posts I'll break down the most crucial items every starter kitchen needs by cooking style, from beginners to advanced.

Basic

If your specialty dish consists of opening the freezer, grabbing the bag of pizza rolls, and nuking them for a minute then this is your list. If you are a little more advanced in the kitchen these are some basic tools you can use to.

Utensils: 

forks   (everyone needs forks whether they are plastic, wood, or metal)

knives (plastic don't cut it here sorry)

Random Equipment:

can opener (for the nights when your hankering soup but moms not there...can also double as a bottle opener for those beers)

microwave (to make your signature dish)

telephone (used to order delivery)

Dinnerware:

plates (paper, plastic, ceramic . . . your choice)

cups (you'll need at least 20 solo AND plastic, paper, ceramic, or glass)

mugs (these double as both drinking glasses and soup bowls)
