Kitchen Tour

Hello everyone! Today's prompt is "It's kitchen tour time!" So, without further ado, let's begin our tour...

Here's looking into the kitchen from the dining room.

Fridge. (Note the step-stool leaned against it, for short people like me. And the red plastic cup and piece of cardboard, that's our bug-catcher so we can move insects outside.)

My plants on top of the microwave on top of the dishwasher (which more often serves as a drying rack since I prefer to hand-wash dishes). Bread machine next to microwave. Pretty flower arrangement from Alena (I keep it there because Buttons would knock it down if it were on the table).

Cabinets, counter space, toaster, compost container, utensils, Zach's coffee area, sink.

Oven, which had the heating element replaced after it blew out, complete with sparks, while it was preheating. That was a scare, lol.

Little cupboard with teas, spices, etc.. :)

Behind the door.

Trash, recyclables, back door, cute little seat.

Breakfast nook. (That's Buttons' food area on the floor; Leela prefers to eat upstairs.) In the corner is a spider plant from Zach's granddad.

Shelf (ignore anything non-vegan; it's either Zach's or the cats', lol).

Freezer & fridge.

Dorky pic of me when I was little; my mom put it on the fridge and told me I should keep it up, lol.

My mom also mails me comic strips; this one she noted as being Buttons.

Favorite. :)

And of course, a pic of Mystery.

Inside low cabinets.

Up top (I can't reach the highest shelves without a step-ladder, so they are mostly empty, lol).

Cabinet above coffee area.

Me, happy in my kitchen. :)

Zach, a cute grump who has not yet had his coffee.

Buttons decided to get in on the action, too.

Double bonus... here are pics of past kitchens...

Our last kitchen was super small...

Before that, we had an OK kitchen; I loved the cupboard in the back.

Before that, our kitchen was nice but could get a bit cramped; the view outside was lovely, though.

But our first kitchen will probably always be my favorite. It was big and obnoxiously bright; it had beautiful old windows and an island; it served as a kitchen, living room, and workspace; and it was my first kitchen as a vegan, my first kitchen in my first apartment, the first kitchen I did MoFo in (2010). Lots of happy memories. :)

And of course, what would a Vegan MoFo post be without food?! So, here was my quick lunch before I went to visit the shelter kitties... 

And here was my easy dinner of leftovers I had when I got back...

Last but not least, here are three Leela pics to end today's post... 

Peace. :)
