The Tiny Kitchen...

So I have mentioned before that it's slightly difficult to cook in our "kitchen" since we only have one inch of countertop. I thought I would show you what it looks like on a typical night when I'm cooking dinner...






I wasn't making an elaborate meal, just cheese dip and quesadillas. Notice the cheese grater, plate, and cutting board precariously balanced on the edge of the sink. Also notice that the skillet and pan are touching each other while sitting on the burners (no, these aren't extra large pans)! It definitely makes for some interesting cooking experiences (sometimes I burn myself, other times I knock things in the floor or the sink). But, I won't complain because, after all, we do live in downtown Chicago & the weather is starting to get BEAUTIFUL!!

Wow! Your one inch of countertops makes our 1 foot look like a mile! But you are right...you get to enjoy Chicago. I saw your pics on Facebook...it looks awesome!

that looks smaller than the kitchen I had in my efficiency appt in Nashville in my early 20's....however, you - like myself - would fail a health inspection - haha because your cleaning supplies are too close to your food! So CLEAN UP! Montgomery Joke. Miss you still!

I can't keep the cleaning supplies under the sink because the dishwasher is under the sink! I have limited choices for storage! Besides, this way the food will be really clean! :)

You have a dishwasher?? Not fair! I would trade our counter space any day for a dishwasher.
