For the past 3 days I’ve been working on the kitchen. Cleaning, reorganizing, sorting and purging. There is still a little more to go today.
3 days, Lecram? Really? It was that bad? Why didn’t you call a hazmat team?
It’s not as bad as it sounds. I’ll admit it did need cleaning. But even though I cooked in it a lot… it was always Mum’s kitchen. I was more of a guest who was allowed to use it. It was organized the way she wanted.
When I undertook the task this week I thought that cleaning would take half a day. It would have too.. but as I kept going something kicked in and I started going through drawers and reorganizing, etc. It was only last night that I realized what was happening. I was reclaiming the kitchen in more ways than one.
Once the task is complete (hopefully after today) I will be able to claim it as my own. Something passed down from Mum who until a couple of years ago continued to share the subtleties and secrets of the family culinary traditions with me. It is that which I am counting today.
