Now have to comment....( I may not get any cleaning done today.) To get out of doing birthday parties this year I told the kids we would go to Disneyland they had a deal for southern Calif residents. 2 days $66.00 course hotels and food added up to $500. but next year think I'll use my option of saying no. I Have a 40 year old tiny kitchen that is in desperate need of a complete overhaul but whenever I get close to having enough ... braces, hearing aid. med. test get it first. oh well. I don't like to cook much so I select only 5 star quick recipes from online .Rachel Ray has a taco stew that everyone loves . thats hugh if all 4 of us love it. now to be careful as to not burn them out on it when I find a winner.Cindy Darn. just read some more.

I didn't realize your affection for a clean kitchen was getting in the way of you enjoying actually using your kitchen. Maybe you should think of it the way Seth views the magna-doodle: you draw a football, you look at it, you make it blank and clean again, you draw a football, you look at, you make it blank and clean again. (Maybe not 50 times in an hour.) But you get the idea. Your kitchen is a magna-doodle. (Those rat-chefs really, REALLY grossed me out.) This is VERY useful information.

You just cooked chicken, and I just posted 12 ideas for using cooked chicken. ;) Don't you just love serendipity? What a coincidence.

A messy kitchen doesn't bother me (unless it stays that way) as long as it's not dirty, which to me is a completely different thing.

The shiny things should be shiny, and the crumbs nowhere to be found. When I turn off the light to the kitchen before going to bed, I love seeing glow of the nightlight reflecting off of the countertop. Obsessive, probably, but there is nothing worse than waking up to a messy kitchen and feeling like I am already behind with my day. So thank you for helping me to understand that I'm not crazy when I hear the relaxing sound of the dishwasher as I head upstairs to bed.
