Monday Kitchen management and notes.

Kitchen management is a tool that allows you to prep for the next weeks meals and deep clean the kitchen.   I have a real issue with the new terminology of “clean” food.  If you have a clean disinfected kitchen and you wash your hands didn’t double dip the tasting spoons, don't cross contaminate raw foods, and wash your fruits and veggies in vinegar water, you are  probably clean.   

We have a generation of people that think they need to be special.  Remember the me generation?   This will go down in history for being the “special” generation.    After going through the 70s with double digit inflation and no raises for 3 years as a single parent with no child support, I have little patience for special.   Just eat as healthy as you can and be darn glad you have food to eat.   Not everyone does.    Ps:  I had an ex husband, he just thought playin 36 holes of golf was more important than paying child support.   There is always a reason why we have ex’s.  LOL 

I digress: 

• Wash kitchen floor 
• Wash and disinfect countertops, sinks and drains.  Believe it or not, drains get nasty.   Use a dedicated brush.  
• Wash veggies.  I use a dedicated brush and vinegar water in a dedicated plastic bowl.  
• Make tonight’s soup.  Make beer bread.   
• Wash salad greens and store in fresh containers
• Wash the oven vent screen.  (First of the month) 
• Wash the bottom vent on the fridge.  Scrumbing bubbles in the sink makes it easy.  
• Wax north side cabinets.  (Howards)
