| An organized kitchen makes cooking more fun, and far more efficient |
I have been tossing this around in my head for a while, and decided to create a separate blog post on how to organize your kitchen area and make it as functional as possible. Cooking is a complete drag if you feel like it's a chaotic endeavor that requires a lot of running around. And, of course, I have now finally come to a point in my life where I have lots of cabinets, an ample kitchen island and a spacious work area. So lest I come across as condescending, talking about how to organize a kitchen, when many of you have tiny apartments and/or rickety old cabinets and lack of functionality, I just want to assure you that I have also lived in places with small kitchens and lack of counter-space. My goal here is to provide you with as much useful information for making the best of what you *do* have. For someone endeavoring to make use of this kitchen organizing session, I would set aside a whole day, and remain flexible to tweak things after the fact, if you find that you under-assessed some of your needs.
Ultimately, cooking and maintaining your kitchen will be easier and more fun when there is a good groove and flow. (Groove and flow. Sounds like some new sub-genre of electronic music, doesn't it? First it was Drum and Bass, Jungle, Trance, Techno, and now it's Groove and Flow. So on that note, crank up some good music and let's get to it.)
