My Kitchen: Contrasts












(Joining Heather's kitchen blog hop.)

 A clean kitchen on a Saturday morning--tidy shelves--clean pots--the newest flowers (love tulips).  Countered by: coats on chairs--papers we haven't put away*--an odd array of knick-knacks on a window sill--a messy table.  And through it all, both clean and chaotic, cooking and eating occurred.

(*In my defense, we don't actually keep laundry detergent in the kitchen.  That's just what we use for a sharps container.)

 It hasn't been a stunning cooking week, but I am 3/4 of the way through the 55 rough drafts on my plate this week, and I'm one week closer to May 17th and the end of the semester's work!!!

    I love your kitchen, that green wall! What a beautiful color. But coats hanging from chairs... it's a lived kitchen! And especially with that noodle dish... I'll be hanging out with you right there too! :-)

      It's one of the recipes from Heather's last Whole Food Kitchen workshops! It's quickly become a staple in my house.

      Thanks! I am kind of obsessed with color, but lately really wishing I had the bravery to paint those dark cabinets to brighten the room more.

      It is good, and easy. Maybe Heather will put it on the main blog sometime.

      Isn't it a great color? We painted it last summer and it makes me so happy.

    I love the green in your kitchen, the island bench, the basket at the door, clean pots, tulips and the food looks yum! I hope this next week is better. xxoo

      Thanks! It's so interesting to get other people's takes on our kitchens, isn't it? Innocent voyeurism.

      The basket by the door is for shoes. I finally found something that makes my kids' habit of leaving shoes by the kitchen door tolerable!
