I have a very small kitchen but I love it.
It is 8pm on Monday night,
It is 8pm on Monday night,
the supper is cooked
and I am waiting for MrM to come home.
I realise how happy I am,
just at that moment,
surrounded by my favourite things.

And that is the best reason of all to be cheerful.

It may be a small kitchen but it is perfectly formed.
Life is easy when you can take such joy in your surroundings.
It IS a lovely little kitchen. And I've noted that it is the acme of minimalism, as is mine.
I was sitting in my dining room yesterday, at the other end of the table and I said, out loud: I love this place.
But I still needed to make dinner and K came home cranky.
Your kitchen looks a wonderfully cosy place...and what a lovely young man to comment so sweetly on your broccoli. Off to read Steph's post now. Hope supper was delicious! x
those are lovely reasons Alice, what a nice insight into your favourite things.
It is not an exaggeration to say that I married MrsM for her ability with broccoli. Other than that she is of course a very fruity person.

Love seeing a slice of your cozy kitchen, MrsM! That MrM is a lucky man.
Your kitchen is indeed lovely! My broccoli cooking is variable at best - but I am good at roast potatoes.
I killed my Le Creuset wedding present casserole at Christmas. I didn't think it was possible but all the enamelling started to come off :-(
