Another thing that happens is going into the kitchen, or any other room, and knowing what you want there, but once you get there, you do not have a clue why you came to this particular room. isn't being a senior fun?! you young ones have a lot to anticipate, grins! hehehhahahahahahah!!
Fear is just excitement in need of an attitude adjustment! -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paula and James Muysenberg via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, January 30, 2015 1:54 PM To: [email protected]; John Diakogeorgiou Subject: Re: [CnD] Frustrations in the kitchen sometimes I've always been bad about forgetting where I put stuff, whether for cooking or anything else. Someone once suggested that I make mental notes to myself, e.g.: "I'm setting the lid to this bottle just to the right of this saucer, near the top edge." I don't always remember to do that, but when I do, it helps. Also, as Nicole mentioned, preparing before you start can really lower your stress. I like to gather all my ingredients in one place. As I use them, I move them to another predetermined spot. I'm a real slowpoke in the kitchen, but getting things ready beforehand makes meal prep go more smoothly. Another time-saver I sometimes use is to fill one sink with soapy water before I start on a recipe. For utensils that can't go in the dishwasher, or that are not very dirty, I just rinse them a little and drop them into my water to soap. I can then wash them up quickly, when I have a minute, and clean up the counters with my soapy rag.
