I’ve been bitten by the bug to get my entire kitchen cleaned and organized again. Last night I did floors, counters, and cleaned out the fridge and all the refrigerator shelves. Today I’ve been working on organizing the massive pile of junk that I had piled on top of my fridge and giving everything a home. I also cleaned out my spice cupboard and threw out old spices that had been kicking around for a long long time. It’s starting to come together but I still have a long way to go…pantry, dish cupboards, cook books etc. But I must admit that it feels really good to be getting somewhere and might actually inspire me to use my kitchen to create a culinary masterpiece…or at least some chocolate chip cookies for my kids!

What I’d really love to own is a Kitchen Aid Mixer, that’s been on my list of desires for about 8 years now. I have complete jealousy over Katie and Mom owning them now, but perhaps it’s a good thing I haven’t got mine yet because I just can’t decide what color I want. (Red, White, Black, Silver - uggh!! so many mixers so little time)!

some good friends of mine have put together an awesome thing called Cook it Blog it. It’s a group that makes up delicious dishes, baking etc. and takes pics of their yummies, then blogs about it. Joining in is easy and you get your blog listed in their blogroll when you participate. I can think of several people I know and love that would be awesome additions to this fun club. Go for it!!
