Sheldon, you have a very spacious kitchen. Counterspace to spare. Some
people are not so fortunate. My kitchen back home is about the side of a
decent sized office cubicle. If I didn't have the pass-through bar over the
stove for my herbs/spices and stuff I'd be in trouble. And I don't have a
gazillion cooking gadgets taking up counterspace like some people do. I
still don't have much room for prep work. I'm not going to knock koko for
wanting a place to put things. If it makes her life easier, so be it. I'd
definitely lose the curtains and blinds, though.
