I felt so bad!

However some solutions are filing like ingredients from front to back. I once tried filing herbs alphabetically front to back and in adjacent rows but it doesn’t work unless everyone’s up for it – which they weren’t.

I am very excited to see your new place when I come up at christmas! Wish I could visit before then, but too many damn weddings this year.

Right now our island bench is covered in random crap we need to sort through! I have found now that instead of using one pan, one bowl, etc, I can chop ingredients, put them in a bowl, chop something else, go do something esle, chuck stuff in the *gasp* dishwasher…it’s lovely! But I’m sure after a while I’ll get so used to it I will cease to appreciate it.

I hate deep cupboards!! My mum has this really deep pantry and she’s forever ending up with 6 tins of everything! It’s wasted space. I’d love to hear if anyone has tips for deep cupboards…

I’ll be interested to know how you utilise your new-found bench space. It’s equivalent to moving from a small single bed to a king-size: will you curl up on the edge or spread out right in the middle? Having always had ample bench space, I manage to use as much as possible for the easiest of meals. Eg, pizza: an area to make the dough, an area to cut up ingredients, a separate area to roll the dough (because the mixing bowl is in the previous area), an area to grate cheese. The other half absolutely hates this. I’m not sure how I’d cope in minimal space, but I believe I’m adaptive.

PS. Your story really highlighted my unconscious hatred for deep pantry cupboards. Losing things at the back of the cupboard and re-buying things you already have but couldn’t find when you did the shopping list. UGHH! Why do I have three jars of thyme!!!??
