http://kitchencurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 4, 2011. Rediscovering the Kitchen Pantry. For years, people have been ripping out pantries and other small kitchen-accessory-rooms and making the kitchen area into one big room. Now, fashion tells us that the pantry is back "in". Jolly good. Maybe we can keep this useful feature in our kitchens for a while now, until the wheel of fashion turns against it again.

The Kitchen Curmudgeon: July 2008
http://kitchencurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 11, 2008. Should you include a waste disposal in your kitchen? Waste disposals (garburators, waste disposers) have pros and cons. Not everyone needs or wants one. Personally, I wouldn't have one in the house. Easy disposal of food waste. No bad smelling garbage or compost container. Waste containers can be smaller. Note: properly managed compost and garbage containers don't have to smell. Take up space in the sink cabinet. Another appliance to go wrong and get serviced. Working in the kitchen.

http://kitchencurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2008/06/decluttering-fridge.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2008. If your fridge looks like a bomb went off inside it, or it's stuffed to the gills and you can't find anything, or you're afraid to open it because the science experiments have created their own civilization and reached the gunpowder stage. read on. Throw away the science experiments, anything with fur that shouldn't have it, and anything that’s gone bad. Look at all the leftovers. Decide: will you eat them in the next 2 days? Can they be frozen to eat later? Add new baking soda.

The Kitchen Curmudgeon: "Low maintenance" kitchen materials: Stainless Steel and Granite?
http://kitchencurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2008/06/maintenance-kitchen-materials-stainless.html
Thursday, July 3, 2008. Low maintenance kitchen materials: Stainless Steel and Granite? Stainless steel and granite tend to be touted as very tough materials which will last a lifetime. And they probably are. That doesn't mean they are "low maintenance", though, if by that you mean what a normal person would mean - i.e. that they don't need to be cleaned and babied and titivated unnecessarily often, and have special care taken of them. Apparently not. Granite and other stones need to be sealed after ...

http://kitchencurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2008/06/where-to-keep-your-kitchen-spices.html
Sunday, June 22, 2008. Where to keep your kitchen spices. So, what to do in real kitchens? First, where do you use your herbs and spices? I use mine in more than one place - at the range, at the prep area, and when I'm baking. So ideally I'd want storage at all those places. Not necessarily duplicating everything in each place, but making sure that the ones I use in each place are there to use. Next, how much do you use them? Tell us how you store herbs and spices in your own kitchen! Laundry in the Kitc...

The Kitchen Curmudgeon: Laundry in the Kitchen
http://kitchencurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2008/06/laundry-in-kitchen.html
Thursday, June 19, 2008. Laundry in the Kitchen. Most North American kitchens don't include laundry facilities, but there are some good reasons why you might consider including them in your kitchen floor plans. Do you have a kitchen laundry? Would you have one? Why or why not? Working in the kitchen. I have a combined laundry and pantry at one end of my galley kitchen (closed end).
