Whats on your kitchen counter right now

**homesteadmamma** · 01-06-2003, 10:38 PM

My kitchen counter always seems to be cluttered, but I'm determined this year to make it clear. So my kitchen counter has a loaf of bread on it and thats it. Oh I forgot, its also got my oil lamp.

Whats on yours?

Too much stuff LOL...way too cluttered right now, papers, some baking supplies, cannisters, dish drainer

bisquick, piece of cardboard from our new frying pan, cup for my water, olive oil, plate of breadcrumbs I meant to use up,banana's, glass jars, knife, cover for my chopper, about 12 cans of soup,basket full of dry goods(oatmeal, 4grain cereal etc) and another bag full of more dry goods...

Most of that just needs to be put away but I usually have out my cup, banana's and the wire basket full of something..

My kitchen is small, so I keep all the counter-top items on one side...Bread (junk) box, coffee maker, food processor, toast broiller, iced tea maker.

The food prep area has to stay cleaned off.

The bar area has a lamp, keys, receipts...and my cutting board for doing bread dough.
