I wouldn't really want a massive kitchen because you spend all your time walking up and down to get things out of cupboards and more cupboards means more room to store tat! However, I would LOVE more work surface. It's almost dangerous in this kitchen at the moment when you don't have a place to put hot pans because the plates take up all the room! :eek:

I knew that pokey thing had a proper name.....skewer....much better!

Use the BBQ ;) It works. Put the burners on one side and cook on the other.

We had to replace all the appliances eventually because they just did not function like we were used to back in England.

It does sound better, I grant you, but walking into Canadian Tire and asking for a 'pokey thing' may get me carted off.....;)
