WTF, 1920's homebuilders!?!
That's how old this house is, too! Do you have any closets?
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Anyway, I offer unto you this tiny bit of life enhancement: tater tots.
We had those for dinner last night! Ore-Ida makes a smaller, round version called Crispy Crowns which are, as their name suggests, crispier. We all love 'em.

I shall send you all jealous making pictures of my new kitchen. Mwahahaha.
Also still at the cheese. None of the other parents are drinking. I do not want to be trashy mom. I don't actually know any of these parents.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Our home is counter-deprived too. Plus the counters are tiled and therefore useless as far as cooking surfaces go. Lame. We have yet to remodel the kitchen, but we did put in a large butcher block counter to make the intervening years easier.

Because books.
msbelle, you're moving! Eff 'em.
Crispy Crowns are excellent!
Also, a brand called Food Should Taste Good makes a multigrain tortilla chip that is delicious beyond words. I found them in Wegman's organic section.

I would so go ahead and order that beer msbelle. If there are any dads there, they will be grateful. Also joining you.
With our group of friends, even daytime parties include beer for the parents. IJS.

I want tater tots. I have cabbage soup.
They do have beer at Chuck E. Cheese, as my friend M. was complaining about a mom who was tipsy but worse, kept calling the place Chunk N Cheese.

I bought a freestanding island at home depot, and that's my real food prep space.
The short wall with the sink and tiny counter space is where all my cupbards are too. I have cobble together more storage with shelves and kitchen carts.

My new counters will be tile too Burrell, I think I will be getting a couple of plastic boards to make work areas when I need them.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's what we did in the house I grew up in. Freestanding dishwasher (on wheels) with a butcher block on top.
I have a double sink so I have a large cutting board that sits over top of one sink and is the most used counter space in my home. I just used it for bread kneading, as a matter of fact.
