The joys of American appliances

As most of our kitchen and electrical appliances are from the US, they are 120V and therefore do not work here in Germany unless we use a transformer. We own a total of one transformer (they are heavy things too!) so our one transformer gets lugged around between the kitchen and the living room regularly, to power up the coffee maker and the stereo. Since we were playing Christmas carols in the background, Zev temporarily put the Christmas carols on pause while he mixed the carrots and potatoes in the bowl- in the living room. Gotta be resourceful, right!?
