Keeping an Organized Kitchen

RealSimple.com shares some kitchen efficiency tips for daily use as well as for entertainers. Getting more organized and strategically locating frequently used items saves time during meal preparation and clean up. The article gives some ideas on how to do just that.

From the site:

Keep necessities within easy reach. You don't want to waste precious time during dinner prep looking for things. Make a place in the hot zone (around the stove and the sink) for the essentials: oil, vinegar, knives, cutting board. Move special-occasion cookware, like a fondue pot, out of cabinets in the zone so what's left can be neatly organized and easily spotted.

And also:

Make recycling efficient, too. Having a bin for bottles and cans right next to the one for regular trash, instead of out in the garage or in the mudroom, streamlines end-of-meal cleanup.

During the summer gifts and
gift ideas are just not
discussed often, or not as
often as other times of the
year. The summer does not hold
any big holidays and everyone
is busy with their vacation
plans or simply avoiding the
heat.

Organizational skills aren’t
usually something you look for
in an artist, but in Ursus
Wehrli‘s case, they’re
definitely something of value.
Famous for his “Tidying Up
Art” books, which deliver
deconstructions of the works
of Van Gogh, Botticelli,
Pollock, and many other
masters, the Swiss artist and
comedian is pushing his visual
manifesto for a more organized
and categorized take on art.
