Cooking & Baking

in and of itself! I got through lots of "lost" time, sorting everything... throwing out what isn't complete, throwing away errant lids or bottoms, nesting so it all fits neatly in the cabinet. And NO ONE follows up when they clean and put anything away. It drives me nuts! Once I threw out everything I had, and bought a collection of plasticware that all fit neatly in a small "tub"... but NO ONE puts anything back into the tub, let alone tries to nest anything.

I think "nesting" appliances, dishes, plasticware, etc., is beyond the ken of my poor husband at this point. But I do remember being amazed at how neat and orderly his tools were for years. What's the difference between men's tools and women's tools that men can't nest a group of bowls so they fit inside each other?!

And my grandkids! Ah! It's beyond their understanding, too. I've tried to explain how if they would nest things instead of just throwing it all helter skelter into the cabinet, it wouldn't all come falling down on grandma's head when she opens the cabinet! But nothing ever changes... (sigh)

The cabinet has been awaiting my touch for days now. I admit, I'm just not up to the task. I tried to get a complete bowl with lid the other night and nearly fell completely off the chair I climbed to get to it. I need a complete revamp of the kitchen, with new cabinets, etc., and that's never going to happen because medical takes all the SS money! But, I did dream about perfectly nested bowls one night last week. Old age -- when dreams are better than real life living! (LOL)
