On the heels of yesterday's pantry post, I have suggestions for the baking area in your kitchen. I have devoted a cupboard to everything needed to bake:
- Dry goods and spices are in stackable Tupperware containers with labels. The spices are on a turntable so they can be found easily.
- Mixing bowls, cake pans, pie plates, and the mixer are on a shelf above these.
- Cupcake liners, birthday candles, and other various items that are used in baking also reside there.
As a result, except for going to the refrigerator to grab eggs or milk, I can pretty much stand in one spot in the kitchen and have everything I need to whip up a batch of this or that. It saves a lot of time, and I look forward to baking rather than dreading it.
Cindy and Susan, thanks for your good comments yesterday! They add so much to our learning and good ideas!
ReplyDeleteCindy, I hadn't planned on continuing this theme another year. It's a little sad, but I don't know that I can pull in enough material to keep going. Thanks for being a follower and contributor to our learning this year!!
I stopped at the Bass Outlet in Williamsburg on the way back from picking up my daughter from college. While waiting in line, I noticed a box of socks that were 75% off or about $1.50 a pair. I asked Catherine if she needed any and she pronounced the socks "ugly". My total for a pair of shoes and two shirts was $45.90 plus $2.30 tax. The cashier told me that if I spent $50, I could get 10% off. The bargain shopper in me wanted to grab a few pairs of "ugly" socks just to get the 10% off, but the simplifier in me decided that I didn't need "ugly" socks.
