My dear friend
Trish has tagged me to answer some questions about my kitchen. I love how each person has a different story to tell.
Here is my story:
Do you have magnets on your fridge?
A few not very cool ones at the moment. I actually have a collection of favourite pictures I used to have on the fridge that I am always going to put back up after moving here, um over 5 years ago.
Do you have a calendar in the kitchen and if so, what is its theme?
Yes a liturgical one with the theme of Jesus
What is your favorite kitchen gadget or tool?
Really I don't have one, I actually HATE cleaning up gadgets so prefer to do things by hand.
Are you lucky enough to have a pantry of some kind?
Yes I have complete walk in pantry. It has lots of shelving and is where I have our fridge, chest freezer and microwave as well
What is your favorite appliance?
My Kitchen Aid Mixer and my Bread Machine
Do you have an eat in kitchen?
Yes we have a very large kitchen 21 meters x 5m wide
Do you have a bread box?

Do you ever cook breakfast in your pj's?
Well we don't cook breakfast except for special occasions BUT I have eaten breakfast in my Pj's (and sometimes stayed in them longer than that)
Do you have a favorite cookbook?
Yes, My Tasha Tudor Cookbook is my absolute favourite then followed by my own cookbook with handwritten recipes in it.
Are you lucky enough to have recipes that were passed down from your mom and grandma?
No, however I do remember my Grandmother visiting form Yorkshire in England and she taught me how to make Yorkshire Puddings. I now use the recipe from my Tasha Tudor cookbook every time we make these.......and they are a huge favourite in our family.

Do you mean regular type food and not chocolate ☺
I probably don't have a favourite, maybe Stew and I love chicken dishes.
What’s your favorite thing to cook?
Cakes and special deserts
Is your coffee pot electric or stove top?
We don't have a coffee pot, due to us drinking instant coffee, but our kettle is a stove top one and mostly on.
Do you make your own bread?
Yes both machine and by hand
Does your kitchen have a theme?
I guess you could call it country.
Is there a clock in your kitchen?
Yes above my Baking Bench

What’s for supper tonight?
I would love to say something spectacular but it is a scrap meal of chips and eggs.
Do you have enough cabinet space?
Yes
Does your family use paper plates?
No ...Never I really don't like them and can barely tolerate plastic for other occasions.
Do you have a good set of china packed up?
Yes we bought it after having it on lay by for ages just after Kynan was born.
Do you wear an apron to work in the kitchen?
Does this answer your question? All the girls and I have aprons as well as some for our little boys too

I would divide my big bench into two smaller ones and recess my open fire place into the wall.
