7 Things about my kitchen

I was tagged to do this post several days ago and have been lazy about it.

1) My kitchen is a tiny square. The is less than 3 feet between the fridge and stove although they are on opposite walls. We have a separate dining room, but if it was open, my kitchen would seem bigger.

2) Because my kitchen is so small, my husband hates to be in there with anybody else. he will wait until I'm done cooking and have the kids plates and mine made before he will go in to get his food.

3)We have done a lot of work on it since we moved in. One wall had to be replaced because of a roof leak. When my husband fixed this, I also got a dishwasher, bigger sink, and garbage disposal.

4) We just recently "finished" the kitchen although the work was started about 6 years ago. Things were never repainted until recently. I chose a yellow/goldish color for the kitchen wall that no one really likes but me.

5) I usually don't clean the kitchen as often as I should. I try to stay ahead of the game with dishes and wiping up spills, but it doesn't always work. Even though my kitchen may be messy, I am very insistent on my dishes being very clean.

6)There is a cabinet that used to be Miriam's play/hiding place. She would love to get in there so I kept it empty for her for the longest time. Now it is full of appliances and pots.

7) My iron skillet is always on my stove top. I really have no where else to keep it, but I use it almost every day. I'm cooking bacon in it right now. It was really a big step for me to use it, because you are not supposed to wash with soap, just scrape it clean. As I said, I am very anal about my dishes being clean, but I've gotten used to it now.
