No Pride in Thievery

Who would steal a Pride flag? And, why? I suppose some people steal things just because they can, or because they need something they can’t afford, or because they want something removed from sight. The last of these is probably the reason my Pride flag was stolen on Sunday night. Image from Daniel Quasar via Dezeen.com Edmonton is quite supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, but Alberta…

Organizing Ideas for Your Kitchen!!

Smart ideas or solutions that have made your life in the kitchen better and easier. You came back loud and clear with some great tips. Here are the top 18, a must-read if you’re looking to give your kitchen an organizational boost.

Use small lidded containers for the junk drawer:

Tips you’ve implemented in your own kitchen. Maybe you, like Regina, recently discovered the end tops on wrap dispensers, or that you can label freezer containers with a dry erase crayon. Can’t say how it makes me proud, but it makes me more organized and makes me think before saving yet another twist tie or rubber band: My junk drawer is full of cheap lidded containers that hold, among other things, each in its own container, rubber bands, miscellaneous hardware, twist ties, string, and even one for clothespins, because they occasionally come in handy. I can find anything within a few seconds because the lids are transparent enough to see the contents right away.

Use adhesive hooks for hanging almost anything:

Adhesive, removable hooks inside cabinet drawers to hang sifters, etc. Also the same hooks on the underside of upper cabinets to hang measuring tools right above spice rack.

3M hooks on the inside of the door to hang an apron and canvas shopping bags.

Large Command hooks to hang the beaters and dough hooks, etc. for KitchenAid on the inner wall of the cupboard that the KitchenAid is in.

Here are some common centers of activity, in the order that food will travel through the kitchen:

Storage or pantry: Consider your freezer an extension of this area. Whether you store foods in a true pantry, a cabinet, a closet, or someplace else entirely, don’t forget to go through periodically and clear out items that are hopelessly old or will never be used. Preparation: Cutting board, knives, measuring cups and spoons, and mixing bowls all go here. Cooking: The stove and oven plus the utensils that go with them. This area should include pots and pans, pot holders, spoons and spatulas (a utensil jar works well for these). Baking: If you love to bake, you might find it handy to store your flour, sugar, baking powder, a set of measuring cups and spoons, your favorite mixing bowl, etc. together in one convenient spot. Serving: The table, plus tableware, serving dishes, napkins, trivets, and anything else you need to sit down and eat. Soy sauce? Salt and pepper shakers? Sugar bowl? Ask yourself whether it would be more convenient to store your dishes and silverware near the table or the dishwasher. Cleaning: The sink, dishwasher and surroundings. Soap, gloves, dishpan, drying rack, cleansers, towels, etc. Waste disposal: Keep a trash can handy, plus recycling and compost bins, too. Locate them as centrally as possible without being in the way. They should go near the cleaning and food preparation areas.
