Good Grief! Yet again.

The #6 hat please, For The Kitchen, which
I dedicate to all Kitchen Cats throughout
the world. It looks like a good place for them
to sit and observe the preparations until their food
is finally ready.

And again, thanks.

I don't have any of that, but the tv and stereo are downstairs
within earshot, and one of my countertops is in view of the
tv. Sometimes I watch tv while prepping ingredients. Sometimes
the tv is on one of those 'radio' stations.

Maybe I should have voted MCINL instead of no.

Like many, I have a radio but it is not always switched on since it
tends to drift, not being digitally tuned, and its selectivity is
nothing like my Bose receiver.

I had initially hoped that you were going to ask about unusual but
useful appliances. I was reminded by a thread in another group that I
had a French chestnut knife! I also have, courtesy of a long ago
vacation in Switzerland, a Roesti Raffel tho' that's not much different
from a regular coarse grater.

TV's in the next room, two radios in the kitchen. I can hear the

bad.

My wife used to have a small radio in the kitchen but the cheap sound
drove me crazy. Our kitchen is next to the living/dining room which has
a great set of speakers hooked up to the stereo system. We can crank
that up a bit and hear it in the kitchen and with much better sound than
from the crappy little radio. On the other side of the kitchen is my
son'r room (when he is here) and it has a television with satellite that
has more than 100 music stations, and much better sound that the cheap
radio,

I had been thinking about getting a Boise system, but they take up
counter space, not to mention the hefty price. I can pick up another set
of speakers and remote wire them to the kitchen for a lot less.

BOSE systems don't have to take up much room at all. I have a whole
house Lifestyle-48 system. The "receiver" sits in the great room and
acts as a DVD/CD/MP3/Home Theater/Stored CD/Radio system with multiple
remote controls working it. The system can perform multiple "functions"
at one time. The auxiliary speakers throughout the house work off of
either hard wired speakers or wireless ones. What is so cool about it is
that someone can be watching TV in the great room, while I'm in the
kitchen or bedroom listening to all my music. This "toy" is my favorite
piece of equipment in the whole house.

It's nice to think that the kitchen is for cooking, but much as we'd
like to not think about it, there's a lot of dishwashing, floor mopping
and general cleanup. This does not require one's full attention. I got
my wife a radio. Otherwise, she would turn up the radio in the living
room so it would blast my brains out, in order that she could hear it in
the kitchen.

A tv would be a distraction. I can peer around the corner and see it
if I want to. My Bose blasts music all over the house, likewise the
old boombox. Other radios in other rooms can be heard if I turn em
up.

I used to visit someone who'd have a tv going in the breakfast nook
while we had the morning meal - I found it annoying, but never said
boo. I've also been to big holiday dinners, ruined by a tv blasting a
football game from the next room. I felt bad for the long suffering
cook whose meal didn't get undivided attention.

Knew a man who put a radio in the kitchen and would intentionally, I
think, blast it on 'by accident', just to get his wife up and cookin'
his b'fast. He couldn't stand to see her get an extra wink of sleep.

OK, as above my two contributions are the chestnut knife and the Roesti
Raffel. Before anyone asks about the grater, I didn't steal it from the
apartment but bought it in a hardware store in Gstaad, really stretching
my command of German :-)

A good cheese board with a wire cutter. I use it now for all cheese
cutting ever since I got a really bad knife cut trying to cut a small
cheese remnant thinly.

I've got one but I advise being sure to have spare wires. They tend to
break at awkward times.

I have a 19th century English carpet stretcher that
I use to defrost my freezer. It has a long, thick
wooden handle and a brass head with stubby prongs.
Pretty much the perfect tool for chipping away ice.

since my kitchen/living room/dining is all open plan, I'm in ear and eye

I voted MCINL. At home I don't have anything but cooking equipment. My

suppose it depends on what you consider "our" kitchen at the moment

Ha - you've got it good. My first apt. had a kitchen with about one
linear foot of counterspace tween sink and stove. No wonder I had no
urge to cook.

Maybe you should store some of these things away - I use the once a
day rule or it gets stowed.

One of the things I found out for myself is this: if things are NOT
out on the counter, they don't get used very much. I don't think of
them as much, and therefore I don't use them as much as I could.

If they are out on the counter, I think of the possibilities...

I learned this concept many years ago...that having my appliances out
in full view, makes me more likely to use them, and to consider
various recipes that would use them.

The old adage is applicable he "Out of sight, out of mind".

I answered, “none of that crap…”, but I should have answered “my choice is
not included”. One can readily see the TV in the den from anywhere in the
kitchen. The audio equipment is just around the corner from the kitchen in
the livingroom.

Obviously you're not busy enough in the kitchen.

I've got a TV, radio. and a computer in the kitchen. The TV is set
almost to the 10 foot ceiling so it's not in the way and that's
usually what's on. The cottage has all of them also but the radio is
usually what's on in the morning so we can get Chicago news which
isn't available on the TV.

I'm with you on that. I have a line of appliances/foods going all
around the back of the kitchen counters. I do use most of them
regularly. The fact that I have very limited cabinet space means I
have to use my counterspace.

How tiny is my kitchen? It's sort of 8x10' but it's L shaped. I have
a reasonable length of workable counter space, but because of the lack
of cabinets most of the glasses are in an armoire in the living room,
the casseroles and pie pans (the glass stuff) in a pantry-ish closet
in the hallway, and the baking pans (the metal stuff) live in my son's
closet.

No way am I wasting kitchen space on a TV, radio, or computer. That
can wait.

In my previous house, a tiny house (800 sq. ft) with a large kitchen,
I kept a tiny TV in kitchen so that I could watch it while I did the
bills.
