Title: My Little Kitchen!
Post by: quirkycooking on April 27, 2010, 06:37:12 am
My little kitchen has been featured on the website "Down to Earth" (http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-me-and-kitchen-sink_27.html) !  When you see how small my kitchen is, you'll understand why I'm so glad to have a Thermomix and not a great bunch of other appliances!  ;D ;D ;D

my grandma had a kitchen like that. it was a war service home in Perth. loved reading your website, your house seems very inviting, cosy and has lots of interesting things going on within the fence.

Jo,  love your kitchen,  you really have it worked out with the appliances.  Like how you can open the window and look out.

Thanks, it is cozy - it is sometimes difficult to keep tidy when I'm cooking, as I tend to spread out, but I manage!

Jo, I agree, it is the cutest darn kitchen I have ever seen and the most important thing is what comes out of that kitchen and we all know, there is plenty.  How relaxing it must be having that view and hearing the birds outside your window every day - I am green with envy.  Another plus is no-one can hang out in the kitchen whilst you are preparing meals - you get it all to yourself.

Must visit that 'Down to Earth' blog when I have more time - it looked very interesting.

Thanks for sharing it with us too Jo  :-* :-*

It's cute Jo. At least you don't have far to walk. It looks so comfortable and loving.

Ha ha - I don't know about no one else hanging out in the kitchen when I'm cooking, JD - seems I'm always running into someone!!  At least I get lots of cuddles - it's a very 'cuddley' kitchen!!  :)

Awesome Jo!  ;D

I was just ummm daydreaming about properties in your neck of the woods... seems my heart still yearns for the far north occasionally!  ;)

It's so pretty here, as long as you don't mind the rain!

The rain I don't mind... it's the cyclones that make it interesting.  :D  ;)

I don't mind the rain either, but being 2o at 9am here is just plain nasty.  >:(

What a perfect cute kitchen and your view Jo !!! I don't know if it's the same in Australia? Many kitchens are huge and nobody is preparing food in it. I love this "Down to Earth"blog.

Jo, I'm so glad that you pointed me to that great blog! I've joined the forum too.

Love your kitchen...

Thanks!
It's a good blog isn't it?  She's apparently writing a book at the moment - my friend Mama Bel is writing a chapter or two!

Well, guess what?  I'm packing up my little kitchen... we're moving - sniff sniff  :'(
But at least my next kitchen will be a little bigger!
This is a bit of an unexpected move (we won't be moving too far away), so I've got 1 1/2 weeks to pack!  Eeek!!
Title: Re: My Little Kitchen!
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on June 10, 2010, 11:24:59 am
Oh goodness Jo  :o.  I hope the move goes well and you all settle into your new house soon.  :)

Post by: judydawn on June 10, 2010, 01:01:15 pm
Good luck with the move Jo and hope your new kitchen meets with your expectations.  It certainly won't take long to pack up the old one and if I were you, I would hang a photo of it in my new kitchen as it will provide you with many happy memories of all the cooking you have done in it.

Best wishes Jo,  hope the shift goes well and you settle in to your new home and kitchen quickly .

Good luck with the move Jo.It only seems like yesterday I was following your other move.The new kitchen sounds exciting, you never know you might get a dishwasher!!!
Title: Re: My Little Kitchen!
Post by: meganjane on June 10, 2010, 03:04:35 pm
Wow Jo! Nothing like a little spontaneity in your life!!
Hope the move goes smoothly and your new kitchen is just what you need. :-*

Good luck Jo. At least with the move happening so fast you don't have time to dwell on it

Thanks guys!  You're right VHJ, it's all happened so quickly I don't have time to stress!!  Last time it took us ages to find a suitable house - very stressful!  We're working towards having our own place again but haven't quite got it all together yet, so we'll be staying at this next place til we can, hopefully!

Good idea about the photo in the kitchen, JD - last time I just kept remembering my friends travelling around Australia in a big bus with 9 kids, and how tiny their kitchen was, and that kept me thankful for my 'bigger' kitchen! The new one doesn't have a dishwasher, CC, but never mind - it's a good 'character building' excercise for the kids!!  ;)

The best thing about the new house is that it's only two doors down from my mum and dad!!  The kids are so excited! (Very handy for babysitting while I'm at demos!!)  ;D

The new home sounds exciting. Good luck with all the packing.

Good luck with the new move - did you manage to unpack all the boxes?

Good to be near mum & dad.  Thinking !!!!!  ;)

Post by: quirkycooking on June 12, 2010, 09:40:45 am
Ha ha - no Tmxer, there's still a couple of boxes of books n stuff sitting around!  But I'm re-sorting, hoping to get rid of more stuff!  Hopefully there won't be another move in the near future - you know what they say, "Three moves equals a fire!"  :D

Good luck Jo.
did you manage to unpack all the boxes?
This was my thought  ;) Good luck Jo
