Yes, I know that to most people this whole being without a kitchen for 6 weeks would be a terrible inconvenience and while it hasn't all been a big ray of sunshine there are some GOOD things that have happened ONLY because my kitchen was destroyed 6 weeks ago. Did I mention it's been 6 weeks without a kitchen? Okay. Here we go:
#10. We get to eat out and have insurance reimburse us. (Honestly, this was number one for about a week, but dropped consistently lower each week. If we are without a kitchen much longer it will not make the next list...)
#9 I've learned some mad camping cookin' skillz due to a lack of conveniences.
#8 I've whittled down my necessary utensils to two spatulas, a set of knives, a whisk, three spoons, a manual can opener and an ice cream scoop. Who knew you didn't need all those gadgets? My new drawers will be so tidy.
#7 I know what restaurants have the most "not necessarily healthy, but not as horrible as fast food" food choices. And although I won't want to eat out for a while, this is knowledge that I can carry with me.
#6 My big utility sink holds more dirty dishes then my regular sink.
#5 I have become one with my microwave.
#4 It doesn't really matter how much money you put out for plastic utensils because they all break anyway.
#3 Cereal for dinner is acceptable. Hey, I cut up an orange....
#2 I was able to truly clean all that gunk that had dripped down the sides of my stove from the counter. Oh My Heavens....I will not tell you how gross that was.
AND NOW THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY HAVING NO KITCHEN IS A GOOD THING:
#1 You can't mop the concrete floor.
