What do your kitchen counters say about you?

    Mine says I'm a mommy who wakes up to make bottles for her baby boy in the morning. Formula and bottles are next to the sink. It is not that big so everything is crammed together, but everything is organized neatly as I like structure. The coffee maker is nearby the sink because my husband and I love to drink coffee. The microwave is my best friend too. I use the stove, but defrosting in the microwave is a major advantage. I guess that means I like to get things done in a hurry which is so very true. I get that from my dad, for better or worse.

    Not sure if my counter says anything about me or not...

    We cook three meals a day for 8 or 9 people, and I expect the kids to do a fair amount of the cooking and the cleaning. My kitchen counters are a disaster, always have been. But they probably are a more nutritious disaster now. :smile:

    I have a small apartment and not much counter space, so my counter is generally a little chaotic, but it's something I'm getting better at.
    Turning around to look, I have:
    A bottle of oil, my kitchen scale, a broken (and admittedly greasy) spoon rest, a mortar and pestle, a small jar with brown sugar, a dirty oven mitt, my five cutting boards, a tub of butter (not mine!) and the dish rack.

    Oh, and dirty dishes. Anybody wanna come wash them?

    It makes this whole thing so much easier, coffee having very little calories!

    i hate clutter, so i try to keep as much as i can in the pantry or in the cupboards. we pretty much only have large appliances on the counter and fruit/veggies that i don't like to have refrigerated. on the counter we have:

    food processor
    kitchenaid mixer
    toaster oven
    breadmaker
    bowl of bananas, avocados, onions and garlic
    espresso maker (for him)
    electric kettle for making tea (for me)

    things that i use all the time that are small enough to keep in the cupboards:

    juicer
    immersion blender
    yogurt maker

    I cant stand clutter either but the closest cabinets to my reach have everything I need other than my food scale that stays on the counter

    Most notably, a drip coffeemaker and a Tassimo- for when I have to one- cup it! Also, a microwave and a toaster. Don't forget my dragonfly. Love my dragonfly!

    Small counter space between fridge and stove contains the most clutter: Knife block, tall sealed pasta jar, recipes I'm planning on using in the next couple of weeks and grocery list with a couple pens handy.

    Medium counter space between stove and sink: small pile of oven mits/pot holders, trivel, spoon rest, microwave, cofee maker, sugar and coffee containers

    Large counter space between sink and main entrance: dirty dish, a couple plant pots I need to clean out and put away, a couple 2 liters of soda for Hubs, bananas and potatoes. And a box of emergenC

    I guess this says I'm a planner (recipes/grocery list) but also a procrastinator and only semi-organized. :)
