We always talk about Spring Cleaning but Fall Cleaning is just as important, especially in our tiny kitchens. The cooler weather brings out the soup pans, the roaster, more cookie baking, the darker table linens and the heftier coffee mugs.
The delicate pink lemonade glasses, the white linen table clothes, the gigantic salad bowl and the blender (for smooties and dacquaries) all fade slowly away as the chill fills the air.
Take a little time and look at what pieces and utensils you are using less as the weather changes and what things you find yourself shuffling through the back of the closets to pull out. Space is limited but move things around so that the items you need most are easiest to get to.
Yes, you may need the margarita glasses sometimes in the next few months but you will definitely need the heavy earthen soup tureen frequently. An hour in the kitchen assessing and reorganizing will save you hours of time in the coming months, hunting, searching and reaching.
Happy cleaning!
And...let us know what your favorite autumn soup is....
