Kitchen Questions

Our kitchen is the central courtyard of our home, where we light the hearth fire. It used to be a gathering spot, but we don't eat there anymore; we flow through from the front to the back of the house, in and out all day long, gathering only long enough to make a cake together, or load our plates.

We had many reasons for not eating at the table, and that led to the decision to install a mattress-fort under the table, making it impossible to pull chairs up to it anymore.

My biggest question today is: Is that how we want our kitchen to be used or is it time to reintroduce meals at the table?

Agenda today:

1. Read "One Year to an Organized Life"

2. Clean and clear the kitchen

3. Simple steps for health
