But if I could change one thing...
About the same size as our kitchen. This one, however, is slightly newer. |
No, I don't mind that I do not have a dishwasher. We don't really need one as we have Paulo and myself (usually Paulo, since we have the "he/she that cooks should not do the dishes policy", and as you can all tell, I do the cooking 95% of the time).
I have even learned to live without a garbage disposal, although I did not know there were actually houses in America that didn't have one. (We have the switch to turn it on/off and all the other things to make it happen, but when we asked the landlord about it they told us we could not install one... something about them being afraid our house will burn down. Huh?) I do still, once in a great while, forget that I do not have a garbage disposal and then have the unfortunate task of having to scoop a bunch of stinking, old food out of the sink. Yuck. But most of the time I remember and all is well.
The thing that I find challenging is the lack of counter space.
Not our kitchen, but might as well be... |
I imagine this kitchen, yet I am that lady there, with my perfectly done hair, my adorable and oh-so-clean child, the house spotless and the aroma of sweet cakes and sauteing onions filling the air. All the burners on the stove work all the time and I can paint the walls whatever color I choose. Of course, there is counter space galore, and even a garbage disposal and dishwasher.
Really, it is a beautiful image, right?
But for now I must listen to the ever wise words of Aerosmith and "Dream on."
oh i totally know how you feel! my husband and i just moved into a tiny university apartment, and while it is a step up from living with my parents (where we were before!) the kitchen is just so tiny! but we make do. we have to! :)
ReplyDeletehaha I LOVE this post. Don't worry you are one of the many chefs with barely enough counter space to place a cutting board on. If only we had dishwashers our drying rack wouldn't have to take up 30% of it!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I am not the only one! Wouldn't it be nice if we could all take one of those nice kitchens from IKEA and just attach somehow to our apartments???
