Enter My Homeschool Kitchen...

Posted in Homeschool Kitchen

Saw this on Redneckatheart's (Homesteadbloller) blog and thought I'd give it a try...

1. Do you have magnets on your fridge? You mean, is there a fridge under my magnets?!

2. Do you have a calendar in your kitchen, if so, what's the theme of it? I have a calendar that my FIL gives all of his extended family every Christmas.  He orders it from somewhere and it has HUGE daily squares to write in.  We all love it.

 3. What is your favorite kitchen gadget or tool? My wooden spatula.

4. Are you lucky enough to have a pantry of some kind? No.

5.What is your favorite appliance? My electric skillet and my bread maker (I let it knead the dough and rise there and then I bake it in my oven).

6. Do you have an eat in kitchen (table in it)? Yes.

7.Do you have a bread box? No.

8. Do you have a picture of your kids on the fridge? Yes.

9. Do you ever cook breakfast in your PJs? Is there any other way?

10. Do you have a favorite cookbook that you use? Yes, an old Betty Crocker book and my own that I've added to since we got married 24 years ago.

11. Are you lucky enough to have recipes that were passed down from your mom or grandma? Yes, and they are in the cookbook that I've made for myself.

12. Whats your favorite food? Mexican, Italian and Briar (that's Ohio-speak for Kentucky country cooking)!

13. Whats your favorite thing to cook? Taco soup.

14. Is your coffee pot electric or stove top? Electric

15. Do you ever make your own bread?  Yes, it's the only kind of bread we eat.  At least at home.

16. Name one thing that you have hanging on your wall in your kitchen.  The last Christmas my daddy was alive he made me a 6 ft. long shelf for my antique and reproduction tins.  I love it!

17. Is there a clock in your kitchen? Yes, on the stove and microwave.

18. Do you have a bowl of fruit sitting on your table or counter? Yes, on my counter - oranges, bananas and white grapes, at the moment.

19. What type of canisters do you have? Country-type canisters w/gasket lids and a collection of antique canning jars.

20. Does your kitchen have a theme? Country w/antique and reproduction canning jars and tins - all serving a function, not just to look at - and a lot of blue sponge-ware.

21. What's for supper tonight? We had boneless/skinless chicken breasts fried in olive oil w/Spike seasoning and my own herb seasoning mix sprinkled on w/noodles and salad.

22. Do you have enough cabinet space? I will once I clean them out - AGAIN.

23. Does your family use paper plates?   On occasion - usually in the Summer.

24. Do you have a good set of china? Yes.  It is what I have from our wedding.  Actually, it's NOT the pattern I picked out - my mom went behind my back and changed my registry to what SHE liked and I didn't find out until we started opening our wedding gifts.  I was blessed w/many sets so I kept them.  Anyway...I have in mind that I would like to put them on e-bay and then get the one I REALLY wanted (English Rose)...it's been 24 years, think she'll notice?

25. Do you wear an apron to work in your kitchen? Not as much as I should.  I wear my grandma's "all over" apron when I fry or bake.  I'd like to get another one so that I can keep hers nice.

26. Name one thing, if anything, that you would like to change about your kitchen. Can I make it 3?  Ok...a Farmer's sink and a reproduction woodburning stove, like a Hearthstone or something; and a new floor.

Blessings from Ohio, Kim Wolf<><

Gee...Our kitchens sound so much alike though they look totally different! ha ha! I don't have the antiques though, but love the look. You go with the briar cookin' chica! I LOVE it and grew up with it too...best food in the world! (at least when I want a taste of home that is)
