Aprons – Y/N?
Always. I am also always looking for “frilly” ones. The only ones we can find in the “big box” stores are those standard (aka BORING) bar-b-q style aprons.
Baking – Favorite thing to bake:
Muffins, cupcakes, cookies. I once made an angelfood cake from scratch that turned out very well.
Clothesline – Y/N?
Yes. It needs to be re-strung, though.
Donuts – Have you ever made them?
No.
Every day – One homemaking thing you do every day:
Wash Dishes.
Freezer – Do you have a separate deep freeze?
Not yet.
Garbage Disposal – Y/N?
No. We're working on a compost pile.
Handbook?
California Herb Cookery
Ironing – Love it or hate it?
Love it. Taking a page from my MIL's book, I let it pile up, and then watch a movie while I iron. The only downside: no foreign films while ironing!!
Junk drawer – Y/N? Where is it?
Sort of. It's more a “batteries/scissors/allergy medicine for our allergic-to-cats-friends” drawer.
Kitchen: Design & Decorating?
This Is A Baking Kitchen. Lots of cabinets and drawers, nasty old linoleum, butcher block island. All white, except for the nasty linoleum, which will never be white again!
Love: What is your favorite part of homemaking?
Making it look like a magazine, whether it's the food ro the room.
Mop - Y/N?
Oh yes. Every week, sometimes more.
Nylons - Wash by hand or in the washing machine?
Washing machine. That is, if they make it through one wearing without snagging or running! (I don't wear nylons very often...)
Oven - Do you use the window, or open the door to check?
Ours doesn't have a window. :( I try to wait until the minimum suggested baking time before opening the door, though.
Pizza - What do you put on yours?
Cheese, bacon, pepperoni, peppers, mushrooms, GARLIC, vodka sauce.
Quiet- What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
Read a book. Surprise!
Recipe card box- Y/N?
No, I have a filing system.
Style of house-
1930's "ranch", aka "slapped together with no foundation, can't believe it's still standing, are you sure we're supposed to be living here" style.
Tablecloths and napkins- Y/N?
Placemats and napkins.
Under the kitchen sink- Organized or toxic wasteland?
Compost bin, cleaning rags and white vinager
Vacuum- How many times a week?
2, sometimes more, right kitty?
Wash- How many loads do you do a week?
On average, about four or five. Depends on how many home-improvement projects we've done.
X's - Do you keep a daily list of things to do and cross them off?
No, unfortunately. With FlyLady's help, though, I am hoping to get out of my ADD cleaning style...
Yard - Who does what?
Matt mows. He also carts the heavy stuff around, and the patio is his project. I do weeding and planting, but I can't bring myself to even go out there right now...all our plants froze and died. :(
Zzz's - What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
Clean the kitchen.
