Jamie and I have been extremely busy with works n such that we have had little time to do much that requires an after blog, except for what I threw his way a few days ago. hehe
As I'm in our humble kitchen with all of our gadgets, gizmo's, bowls and ingredients I find I'm using anything that will stand still long enough for counter space. I'm in the throws of my first ever attempt at a homemade pie, crust and all, while I have have sausages simmering in beer and pasta commanding my attention, I realize I need more counter space!
I treat my kitchen organization like tetris, everything will fit but there is a skill to it and sometimes you have to smash blocks to make more room.
My block seems to be the microwave! Oh you unattractive heat savvy beast of a machine, I'm starting to wonder if food and life as we know it can continue on without you... For those of you who know me personally, you know it wouldn't be unlike me to pick it up and simply chuck it out the back door and let the boys have fun taking it apart after they have realized it's become spilled milk. I hold back on my impulses to consider the immediate consequences of having no box that will magically heat anything I put into it in mere seconds.
I have to be honest with you, I feel almost like a hypocrite talking about the importance of food and quality awareness when I have this contraption in my kitchen that says things like, "avoid cellphone use while within 10ft of microwave," and "dizziness may occur."
Not to mention this gigantiwave takes up a qtr of my counter real estate. We are believers of slow food and I believe eliminating this modern day convenience will not only keep my cooking honest but will allow us the space we desire without having to pack up the family and move to a bigger place. Not to mention, the 5 1/2 yr old that runs our house would really dig turning it into a robot!
Any thoughts?
