Kitchen ART? or not!

 While email chatting with blogger friend Ann, I said I don't think there is an item in this house that I have not taken photos of..  After I sent the email I thought, KITCHEN DRAWER, utensils, forks, spoons, knifes. I quickly searched with Google for fork/spoon art. Wow, try it. 

I quickly snapped 10 photos in 5 minutes and played in PicMonkey for two hours. 

The rest of this is just what I did, I will show photo first, what I did to it.

THURSDAY Morning Work Out! make that OUCH!


 I pulled everything out of 5 cabinets and two drawers and cleaned and tossed and organized. On the counter above is what was in the cabinet below.
I forgot the before shot. this is the after.
See the 3 coffee cans? each had a 2 lb bag of corn meal, flour, almond flour. I took those 3 bags in the big flour container below top shelf. In Florida we have bug problems if you leave a bag sitting out on a shelf. 
 



I found I had enough mustard for the next 2 years, and Zero Catsup ( major if married to Bob). Four Applesauce. most of this the result of 2020 habits formed of buy now it might not be on the shelf the next time, and hurricane supplies. I pondered just how long two people could live on MUSTARD?
Did I mention 5 large boxes of Saltines? 3 jars of mayo, 1 REAL mayo 2 Vegan Mayo which is a year's supply unless of course we put mayo and mustard on the crackers for the hurricane.
Please do not be concerned. there were also 5 jars of Peanut Butter. 3 of Jif for Bob, 2 of all natural for me. Beau shares the Jif.

3 bags of flour 1 container I thought this was clever enough to warrant its own photo to show how clever I am. It doesn't count that it is so heavy that I can't pick it up and will be there next year to toss out.

Below is the cabinet on the opposite side that some idiot designed as the largest cabinet in the kitchen with a tiny door and 1/2 of it not accessible except for a gymnast. The stool was needed because the same idiot designer, made the cabinets too high for a normal person to reach without fear for her life using them.
 I must keep the things I use rarely at the back where they can't be seen resulting in buying another because I can't see it, and the edges are full of the glass bottles that break if dropped because it's the only one that holds tall bottles. 
I wish I could be in the room with the person who built and installed these cabinets. Like the tiny one over the fridge, that I can't reach even standing on the sturdy stool and I don't dare stand on the tiny 3 step LADDER because then I would not need to reach there from my bed with a leg in traction.

I now have 4 extra dog bowls left over from angels gone over the rainbow bridge, and a 6 drink can thermal thingy (never used except hurricanes), bottles of cleaning vinegar and 5-gallon jugs of hurricane water. Object/items removed from that cabinet require a chair from the kitchen table because I can't.
 A. see it B. reach it
and if I sat on the stool, it would require EMS to come and get me up off it. Note: it has a handle to hold on but only on one side. 
Are you picking up what I am putting down?
PS for David G... I ordered that stool from AMAZON, Not Walmart! my other STORE I mention way too much.

Plastic or Glass?


While juicing a grapefruit for my morning break, I started with the above plastic and ended with the glass  below.  which do you prefer? plastic or glass? or do you have an electric juicer?


Snapper wants to know:
Why? If  I am in the back of the store, the rest room is in the front, if I am in the front of the store, the rest room is in the back.
If I am in Wal-Mart, they have two, one in front, one in back. Sooo why is it when I go running to the closest one, there is a sign Wet Floor use other rest room.

How to make a post out of Anything/Everything/NOTHING




To whom it may concern:


I am not, no matter how it may seem to you, in anyway, at all, bored with my life...... 



I LOVE, really LOVE sitting salt and pepper shakers in shadows and merrily snapping away! Truly I DO!


Also, I was NOT bored when I found by using my friend Google Search, 
that the ONLY Museum of Salt and Pepper Shakers is in Gatlinburg, TN....
AND FURTHERMORE
the most asked question at said museum is.......
Which shaker has the most amount of HOLES????

Kid you not... and here is the answer..

The shaker with the least amount of holes is for Salt...
...and the shaker with more holes is for Pepper.
An easy way to remember is that salt is bad for you so you need less!

Now there are always exceptions to everything. So in Europe, it’s the other way around. Pepper goes in the shaker with the least amount of holes and Salt goes in the shaker with the most amounts of holes. What’s interesting is that in Europe it was difficult to get your hands on Pepper since it’s a spice from the Orient (very exotic) but it was used to spice up meat that had been left out a little too long

Kitchen Adventures Post 4


this is my grandmothers plate, I have two of these. I wish all my depression was the same color.

My mother always told me If wishes were horses all beggars would ride..... she meant wish on...

I priced this plate on line at 34.00. Now when I need a gallon of milk in the near future I can sell it and get two gallons.


Wait! this is not a dish!!! but it is in my Kitchen and was in the way of the snapping camera.

I just LOVE what sunshine does to any and everything.....

Kitchen Adventures Post 3

Serving bowl
I think these might be Indiana Diamond Point but not sure.

 NOTE: did you know that dishes like these get really dirty shut up inside a kitchen cabinet? what's up with that? they haven't been used in years, they should be clean....


The best time to plan a book is while your are doing the dishes... Agatha Christie


Above and below are the edges of the divided relish tray. All of these dishes I have been showing belonged to my grandmother. When she died my Mother brought them home, then when Mother died, I brought them here..

I Googled until I had a head ache trying to find this tray, close but no bananas... if you want to see just how many they made during the depression, CLICK HERE.

Indiana Diamond point platter, I think

Volcano in my kitchen


 It has been so hot here in Florida that Wed. morning I found this volcano in my kitchen, sitting on my stove.. Yes I did find it in my kitchen...




All this molten lava was found inside my 2.50 Apple Cinnamon Glade candle..
see below....I had the candle burning to cover the smell of my French Toast I had for breakfast. 
Have to get my strength up to fight the HEAT...


If you want to try this, it was still dark outside, and I put my little Nikon point and shoot about an inch from the side of the jar.... get playin you' all....
