I feel like if one has to ask if their space is too big, then it is. I have a tiny Manhattan apartment where nothing makes sense- the counter next to the fridge doesn't have any electrical outlets. I think layout wins in the end even if the space is too big. Can a Kitchen Be Too Big? Flag this comment	7/6/11 4:03 PM

i finally picked up the ikea salad spinner! and it has made my life so much easier since we're big greens eaters. design wise it's fine, it's a bit annoying to handle sometimes, but for the price i really can't complain too much.

As I'm reading through the comments, I'm realizing that I don't really use my microwave that much. it's really a space for the breadbox to sit on. I use a kettle for water, I reheat most things on the stove, and make popcorn on the stove. I DO use it to melt chocolate, but I don't like to. Maybe it's time to rethink my microwave ownership.

I've had my garlic press for years. If I have the microplane out I use that instead, the press is great when it's the only tool in use. Garlic Press: Should You Buy One? Flag this comment	1/21/11 11:19 AM
My immersion blender is actually the one my mom bought about 20 years ago and then gave it to me a couple of years ago. And I'm afraid I haven't utilized it to its fullest potential, but I love it anyways. Immersion Blenders: Should You Buy One? Flag this comment	1/8/11 6:44 PM

I raised a bit of eyebrow at the cooking time. My standard lemon square recipes calls for a baking time of 30 minutes. And these are only for 15? do they really come out done enough for that duration? Other than that, o.m.g, I need to make these NOW.

I've got this weather induced rut. It's too hot to turn on a burner and I'm too sweaty to think about anything besides popsicles. Usually I'll bang together some avocados and figure from there something will happen. There's always pb&j, and pasta dishes and by dishes I mean some pasta with butter.
