It has occured to me that I spend way too much time searching my
cabinets for ingredients. Where can I get one of those "Rachael Ray"
cabinets where anything you need is in the front of the bottom shelf???

Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

Is she the one who uses a "garbage bowl" on the counter? And does
anyone ever use that technique -- dirtying up an extra dish when there
is a perfectly good garbage pail sitting right on the floor?

I'd just take a used dish that'd have to be washed anyway :>

Isn't it amazing. No matter what she is cooking for the next
30 minutes, anything that is not stored in fridge is one of
only a half dozen items stored on that bottom shelf.

Yes, it's Rachel Ray that uses a "garbage" bowl, which does work quite
well for those of us preferring that just a dry-only trash container be
located inconvenient to the mixing counter, and/or that any wet trash
be deposited only into a garage bin or one that's located outdoors.
However, I do agree with the extra bowl washing to be a nuisance, so I
simply toss everything for trashing into one of my otherwise empty
sinks for tossing after mixing is done.

Got room on a countertop? I have a double-decker Lazy Susan thing
(Rubbermaid, IIRC) which contains my most frequently used herbs and spices
right there by the stove. No bending, stooping, searching through cabinets.

You're obviously not organized. Have a place for everything and keep
everything in its place... problem solved.

Me, too, I just use a dirty dish ton the counter o put my garbage in; then I
toss it in the garbage at one time. Uusally it's just faster that way and I
don't have to sling wet stuff from the counter to pail, etc.

What gets me is that she talks about preparing her vegetables when she gets
home from the grocery in order that they'll be ready, but when she gets the
celery out and breaks it apart, she gets some sort of wet rag from some
mysterious place and goes about wiping off the bottom of the celery stalk
with that rag. There is no water close by, so she must have to resort to
this method of cleaning. My celery is never in such good shape that I don't
have to run water over to get off the dirt. Another interest of mine is
that her bunches of curly parsley, cilantro, Italian parsley, basil, etc.
all seemed to have come from the store mysteriously clean enough to chop
right there, but then again, some people don't have the imagination (or
eyes) that I do, having seen so many of these vegetables picked up off the
floor and put back in their bins at the grocery store.

That works for me, but it drives my wife nuts when I do it. We have a
stainless bucket with a lid for compost, so any vegetable garbage goes into
that. Paper, foil, plastic, meat bits, bone etc. go into the sink and get
cleaned out later. Not hours later, but after I have finished doing what I
was doing when that garbage appeared and when I have time to deal with it.

I want some of Alton Brown's shallow cabinet drawers, with
three or five items neatly laid out on a towel. How did I get so
much stuff?

I belief that one comes with the custom model kitchen if you order
the production assistant option :-)

Of course, all these shows have a whole crew of prep chefs behind the
stage preparing everything in advance. Some of them openly show this.
I just don't like the pretense of other shows where we are supposed to
believe that the stage set is really the actor's home kitchen, and what
is done on camera is all that it takes.
..
For al the hype and shtick of Emeril, at least he is honest in
admitting the prep work of his large crew. He may start to chop an
onion, etc., but then reaches for a bowl of pre-cut and measured
ingredients. ANd I get amused by the double oevn on the stage set. He
will put a dish in one oven, go to commercial, and then take out the
finished dish from the other oven.

And my time to deal with it might be, oh, say, next October.

This is why I have two trash cans in my kitchen; one on either side of
my center work island. No matter which side you're on, there's a trash
can tucked under the edge of the table.

Actually, I have a "garbage bowl." It's a big plastic bowl that sits
next to the cutting board, and I put all the veggie trimmings and other
compostable stuff in it. When full, this goes out to the secondary
compost container - the pail in the laundry room. The pail is emptied
once or twice a week into the compost heap in the back yard.

This system saves me from having to make a long trip to the compost heap
every time I peel an onion.

I keep a colander in the sink for everything compostable. I use red
wrigglers and keep the bin by my back door. Since we are moving soon,
and our outdoors compost bins are empty now it allows us to still
compost without the need to use them. And I can keep it inside.

Yes....the non compostable stuff goes in the trahs can and vegetable
peelings, leaves, coffee grounds, tea leaves, etc. all go in the
"garbage bowl" to be taken out to the compost pile.

I live on a farm on the top of a long, forested hill that runs down to
the Shenandoah River. I don't have much of a garden since moving to this
house because there are big trees all around us, and not much level
ground. And I'm getting lazy in my old age. So I don't compost anymore.
I throw biodegradable stuff out the back door, down the hill up to maybe
60 feet from the house. Some of it will feed critters passing by, the
rest will feed the plants. Ashes to ashes...

The extra bowl is a godsend for those with a bad back. Instead of bending
down constantly, just dump the carrot peelings, etc in the bowl.

The Rockfish Gap train station was moved from its original location
about 40 years ago. A commercial photographer bought it and moved in. It
wasn't huge, but certainly big enough to have his half of the place and
the other half, an apartment. When I first came to the valley in the
70's, it was one of the places I looked at to live in.

A bit too far away from work, so I passed on it. Walton folklore is
still important around the area where they lived.

Nah. I did live in Italy way back when. And about a dozen other
countries over the years. Life on an expense account is a wonderful thing.

Haven't seen any bears around here. When I lived in Massanutten, we had
one that travelled a dry stream bed that ran next to our house. We'd see
him maybe 4 or 5 times a year. Also red foxes, deer, coons, possums,
groundhogs, chipmunks, voles, every sort of bird imaginable (raptors,
heron yesterday, songbirds, etc.), zillions of squirrels, mountain lion,
and feral domestic cats.

Around here, foxes, coyotes, deer and the same little ones - birds of
many, many varieties. The hummingbirds are back, early this year. Bears
stick to the more forested mountainsides that I can see in the near
distance, maybe 5 or 6 miles away.

Truly. Before coming to the valley, I lived in New Jersey and New York.
Then I had a chance to travel and live in other countries, always in
huge cities. I'd driven thorough and flown over rural areas, but never
stopped and got down on the ground and looked. A whole new realization.
A whole new way of looking at how to live. The legends and folklore are
endlessly interesting. Wonderful stories, some true.

Both my parents' families are from rural NE Mississippi. Among and
between the small towns in the area there are sites where Civil war
battles were fought. The areas are well-marked if not necessarily of
great significance, and it's very interesting to drive through and see all
of that history. There is still a brick silo which predated the war that
now stands near a local small highway with a natural artensian well
nearby. As a child I remember my dad and grandparents relating what they
knew of the history. The many rural cemeteries are ancient, have much
history, and many stories attached to them.
