I am thinking of how I can keep my counters uncluttered, so I have
vast expanses to cook on. I THINK only my mixer, blender and
coffee maker will be on the counter--and even the blender may be
exiled to the room that will be a pantry and possibly auxiliary
kitchen. The turbo oven (do you still have one? the 2nd
generation or whatever it was was not as good as its predecessor,
right?) will be in exile too.

Ah, you remind me of a question I as going to ask....
