lots of great ideas here!!! Rather than peeling onto a tray I use newspaper, when done wrap up and toss into the garbage or the compost

I always try to CAYG. Just wish I could teach my husband! He’s a great cook and the Grillin’ King, but if I don’t follow behind him every cupboard door and drawer will be open and every container will be out on the counter, also open. Not sure why this is, but it makes me crazy! : – )

I’m almost obsessive about cleaning as I go depending on what I’m making. I always have bowls around for dirty items like measuring cups and spoon – to keep the counter cleaner. Usually I have another bowl for trash. And if i’m lucky, the dishwasher is empty so anything I don’t need again will get tossed in there immediately after I’m done with it – decluttering immediately.

My partner is a great cook who loves ‘slaving away’ in the kitchen for hours. She gets all her ideas online and is ready to experiment any time. What she can’t stand is cleaning up afterwards especially in regards to doing the dishes as her hands don’t react well to any detergent we’ve tried. Fortunately washing dishes is the only chore I can stand so in return for the scrumptious meals I gladly ‘slave away’ cleaning up after her

This post is perfectly timed for me (as, frankly, is my introduction to your website). I have just posted on my realization that managing my home and overseeing meals – etc – is my full-time job and something I must give myself to… http://heartpondering.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/in-praise-of-diligence/
Funny that it took me 3 kids to realize this entirely.
I have long realized that I make a huge mess of the kitchen when I cook (which I dislike) and that There Must Be a Better Way… but I’ve not put focus into finding and implementing the better way. I have just made a start, however, and this post encourages me.
