  2. LOL, I can so relate to that. I'm especially bad when I'm crafting. I never seem to keep things clean as I go. By the time I'm done I always have a huge mess.

    1. Hello Carla! Did a small cinnamon apple pie and then the day after, a small pumpkin pie. Then the last thing I cooked was whole potatoes in the electric pressure cooker. And today I'll chop the spuds, season and into the air fryer. How about you?

      Delete
  31. Yep! And then, I start to think...why bother? And so it continues! Until I cannot take it anymore. LOL

  34. my dad was a clean as he cooked my mother was NOT... she left it all out there until her kitchen looked like your drawing. I am even worse than my dad, I hate cooking and I hate clean up, but I clean as I go and when people are eating I have been know to take their plate before they were done. ha ha

    1. I cannot imagine ever hating cooking and baking. You're funny about taking plates away too soon. Have you always found making food a misserable experience? I know someone else who doesn't like either however for her it's routed in a kitchen that just isn't working well. She said if she had a better setup, she'd likely enjoy it more. Wishing you a groovy weekend!

    1. Hi Cecilia! That is a good idea. I knew someone once who had her deep clean of rooms on certain days. I like that idea you both have. Thanks.
