I have one of the Cosco stools that I pull up to the sink. I open the
cabinet door and rest my feet there. I can get lots of tomatoes
peeled and cut for canning without my feet and back killing me. Beans
we take out on the deck in the summer afternoon along with a glass of
wine. Not too much wine or the beans will be all over the floor.
