Like most of you, I LOVE a sparkling clean kitchen. I've discovered, much to my own suprise,it seems I love a messy kitchen even better. Truth is the ONLY kitchens that STAY clean ... are those kitchens that are NOT used. AND.... I designed this kitchen (26 years ago, when we designed and built this house) to be USED!
Three people can easily work together in this kitchen... I LOVE it!
This was the FIRST EVER, Thanksgiving, the three of us celebrated, in this house. A festive, blessed day it was! Delightful smells of OLD favorites, roasted turkey, whipped white potatos, green beans, deviled eggs (my daughters speciality), and sherbet punch, along side NEW recipes of hot sausage stuffing, bacon wrapped asparagus, and pizza balls replacing biscuits. FUN, busy, of three adults working side by side... in THIS kitchen... designed for family gatherings and celebrations... Oh what a beautiful WONDERFUL meal!!
And.... what a MESS! Even with washing the dishes throughout the day, stil.... a pile of pots, pans, spoons, dishes.. and ....I LOVE it!! YES, I thoroughly enjoyed cleaning the kitchen.... It was back to clean, all dishes done, before I laid my head on my pillow.
YES, amazingly it's TRUE... I LOVE the joy and the noise that makes a MESSY kitchen... Who knew?? Especially when it means my family is in one place, laughing together.... all the while!
I am truly blessed!
