My February Cure

Oops, this blog is becoming monthly.  I didn't mean it, but I was super busy with my February Cure.  I decided to follow Apartment Therapy's January Cure a month later, mainly the assignment on Day 7 which is to clean and organize the kitchen.  I scrubbed all surfaces, the cabinet, stove top and oven, refrigerator, inside and out, and other small appliances which reside on the counter space.  I cleaned the pantry, tossed the stuff I didn't touch for years, and reorganized cabinets and drawers. I still have to do some more, but all grime is gone and everything is shiny again. The kitchen feels light and airy. Oh, it feels gooood!

I try to keep flowers on the dinning table whenever I can...

Ah, an organized pantry...

I removed containers with missing or broken lids, and then there was more space, and they all fit in!  How come I didn't do this sooner?

Removed containers were repurposed as a drawer organizer...

A pan before...

A pan after...I used a magic cleaner sponge.  It's really magic!

I received a pressure cooker for Christmas, and I am loving it!  It makes chicken stock in less than an hour!  Thank you, grandpa and grandma!

Just roasting almonds...

Just another breakfast table...

It's fun to watch plants grow...

They got a new home, yay!
