Kitchen Tour.

 We talked a bit about our space yesterday in the workshop.

Kitchen space that is.

I thought I would share some highlights of my space.

First, let me say, I am very fortunate and grateful to 

be able to do my thing in this kitchen.

I have lived in many apartments with rickety appliances 

and below average counter space.

So, in this season of my life, I am happy 

to say I have a wonderful kitchen in which 

to nourish family and friends.

It was completely gut renovated about 9 years ago.

Enjoy the tour..

Shelving space in the island provides a home for cookbooks.

Incidentally, I am just bringing them back out of hiding since this used to happen...

Why yes, that is a "bikini" onsie she's wearing.

I forgot all about that outfit.

Ah, memories.

I try to keep as many items in the pantry in glass jars. 

Some things stay in their original packaging as long 

as they can stand on their own.

I hate having bags of things piled up and hard to find.

I recently added that under shelf storage for 

potatoes, onions, garlic, and ginger.

It. is. priceless.

You may also notice the little white board on the door.

I use it to make my grocery lists.

As soon as I run out of something it goes on the board.

When I don't have time to transfer the list onto 

paper I just snap a pic with my phone and,

whammo, instant list.

This is the message center. 

You can read about that here.

It's not usually this clean.

But in a perfect world it would look like 

this all the time.

Pot rack.

Oh, how you've provided sweet sweet cabinet 

space for more kitchen gadgetry.

 More about how this came to be here.

I like to keep the mixer out because I'm more 

compelled to use it if it's in front of me.

Even the filtered water has a little space of it's own.

Here's a wide shot of the whole room.

You can see the corner of the skylight which provides

 amazing natural light.

So that's our kitchen. 

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

And, just for fun, here was yesterday's lunch

 A wrap crafted from all the little leftover 

produce scraps that were 

hanging around my fridge.

Shredded red cabbage, a handful of spinach, 

half an avocado, micro greens, 

a few slices of apple 

( a delightful addition I might add), 

and a couple of sliced cherry tomatoes.

Delish!
