Simplify, simplify...Life without a kitchen

I never thought I would say this, but in some ways, life without a fully functioning kitchen is easier. Yes, it's a drag to be so limited in terms of what we can cook, and to have to carry dishes from the makeshift kitchen to the laundry room where we wash them by hand. But because we are using paper plates and plastic utensils, buying more prepared food and eating out more, we spend much less time preparing meals, washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen. It seems that we have more time for the kids in the evening after work. Before we tore apart the kitchen, a typical Sunday for us involved menu planning, a trip to the grocery store, preparing several things that would could eat for dinner during the week ahead, and cleaning the kitchen afterward. A trip to the park or other fun had to be worked in around these other tasks. Today began with a breakfast in downtown Folsom (out of the window of the restaurant I could still see a few runners from the half-marathon that I had considered running trickle by as my eggs benedict arrived), followed by a long walk down to the river, and an afternoon and evening at Grandpa and Grandma's. No shopping. No cooking. No guilt. Hopefully we'll learn some lessons that will stay with us even when we reclaim our remodeled kitchen.

I think it's a new concept. We should try at least once to utilize the remaining space. We can get new experience without kitchen in home.

I suppose a kitchen with out dishes is certainly something to have. I don't think that i could live without my kitchen for a few days. Bet you were glad once you got your kitchen remodelled again.

Nothing like being in the middle of renovations on our commercial property in Mississauga. Having everything in disarray, not knowing if everything will be covered in dust, but oh the look when it's done! Worth all the bother after!
