I love the world of blog events. This time around I have to thank Veron of Kitchen Musings for making me aware of Lucullian Delight’s ‘Show Me Your Kitchen’. In that spirit, this is where I prepare all my dishes 
It is pretty basic, and pretty cramped but it gets the job done. My mother and I often talk and dream about renovations, and some of the other participants’ homes were totally inspirational for me in terms of design
The first thing I do when I come down into the kitchen to cook is set my laptop (codename: Maccie) onto the microwave, crank iTunes and open MacGourmet. I love MacGourmet, it’s basically like iTunes for recipes Likewise I love iTunes, I am a musicholic and need it 24/7. I was thinking of sharing from time to time my playlists of what I cooked to. We’ll see
Hope you liked this little glimpse into my world!

Binghi –
Marsha – aww thanks
I look forward to seeing yours 
I’ve bookmarked the fridge and pantry ideas 
Chennette – it is the window in the room behind the wooden louvred door
Ilva – thanks for hosting this event! It is such a wonderfully powerful yet simple concept
Mom came up with the idea of a mirror and it really adds light to the room and fights the feeling of being ‘closed in’

It’s great to see where you prepare all your scrumptious dishes! I agree with Ilva, that mirror is a nice touch to add.

Marsha – i totally remember you and your dave koz fetish back in high school …. remember it was that strange music video/shopping channel thing that introduced us to that stuff?
forget the name… i don’t really like most jazz made from the 80′s on… the odd track here and there but nothing i want to own… my collection is heavily 1930′s to 1950s .. with some 60s n 70s… loved your vintage record snag the other day

Veron – oh thanks
The responses have been so positive 
and i was so nervous about sharing 
makes me misty! 
I don’t know if you can see the border of the mirror clearly enough but mom used gold paint to spray paint stencil shapes using leaves… it’s really pretty!

Marsha – you know i had written MorMusic and then i deleted it. Feel better now that not all my memory is corroded
a jazz radio club sounds like a good thing. There is a Jazz radio station here now. it’s quite nice but i never listen to radio anymore … i think i’ll share my music mixes lolz

***uggh, trinigourmet eating up all my msgs, LOL!! 3rd attempt!***
so THAT’S the laboratory ;p i also am in a bit of a cramped kitchen situation but i love mine, so i can’t complain too much. you make do with what you have, i guess
but i am sure most everyone wishes for either more space or a different design. at least, the food still tastes the same! one thing i DO appreciate about my kitchen are the windows. some of my friends don’t have any and it feels strange, sort of claustrophobic-like. i enjoy being able to open them when i am cooking, especially frying things.
fridge shots!?! yikes! — *runs off to clean* thanks for sharing your space

burekaboy – for the last 12 hours or so my spam catcher has been flagging legit comments as spam… and i have to go in and flag them as legit.. sorry you had to repeat your comments.. i wrote them and i hope it clears up… it seemed to have a few hours ago but like something is happening on their side. the whole net has been odd today.. esp all things hosted by google.. i suspect it’s because of MacWorld and the yahoo/google gossip…

I’ve never heard of MacGourmet. I’m jealous! I have a PC
Maybe there is something like it in the windows world. I have my recipes in text pad. It’s way old school.

Rachel – Hi!
Don’t be too jealous (i’m a macaddict so i’d never say don’t be a -little- jealous 
) for the PC users out there I keep hearing about MasterCook … so it must be pretty good 
Step away from the textpad!
