A few pieces of good quality bakeware to round out my collection.  
Maybe a few small toys, like an egg separator or a cookbook 
holder/protector or a pastry wheel.  A pretty crock for my new 
sourdough starter.

Realistically hoping for... see above.  Wildest dreams?  My dreams 
have been pretty modest lately.  I don't use all the toys I have now.  
Maybe that really really expensive dictionary of medieval Spanish.  A 
gas stove.  A convection oven.  A supercharged metabolism that will let 
me eat all the stuff I want to cook.  :-)

I went hogwild with period cookbooks at Pennsic, so I'm well-supplied 
there.  Maybe Maggie Black's "Medieval Cookbook".  There are several 
modern cookbooks/food books that are on my wish list.  Things like 
McGee's "On Food and Cooking", that explain the what and why of 
cooking.  I find it's very helpful in redacting to understand the purpose of 
each ingredient and procedure.  Various baking cookbooks, and maybe 
some foreign/ethnic ones from cuisines I don't have.
