Then, it also would be a wonderful thing if baking supplies, canned goods, boxes, bottles, packages, and all other food items could be handy and not scattered here and there in cupboards, on shelves and counters. It's not that I don't know what is there, it is that it is sometimes not organized as I would like and not visually open.
Am I complaining? Yep! Will it change? Nope! I don't even miss having an electric dishwasher. Had one for over 25 years with large family. The the best of all thing is that there is a huge old porcelain sink with drainboard and I would never have a double small basin variety. Never! How would I wash the large old bowls and kettles? Nope! The under sink cupboard holds dozens of cleaners and polishes, cutting boards and large jugs of ammonia, bleach, vinegar.
Yes, dozens of utility implements hang on the log walls in the area. How handy is that? There are many taking residence on the vintage towel rack on the wall as well.
Come on over, and I'll show you how to manage my scullery!
By the way, the stovetop burners are covered with common and often used cookware and the interior of the oven is a good storage area for baking sheets and pizza pans!
In the past couple of days I have juiced over a dozen oranges, chopped and bagged two pounds of walnuts, roasted a pork roast for dinner and shredded the remainder for BBQ. As I write there is a 3 lb. beef meatloaf in the oven with wonderful aroma permeating the entire cabin.
No wonder I'm called a "foodie!" Now what to do with these Christmas apples?
Right now, this time of year? I'd request Apple dumplings...warm and cinnamony.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen needs organization help. And we have a dishwasher, but don't use it. Easier & less hassle to just do dishes by hand for just the two of us!
Apples, oranges, walnuts and a ham were gifts from a son and his partner. The apples are hard and tough skins but tasty. We are sharing one a day.
