The Anonymous Widower

One Side Of A Man’s Kitchen

I’ve now virtually completed one side of my kitchen.

Note.

• The television is on a 270° swivel so it can be watched from outside, when I’m eating or working.
• The worktop will be extended through to continue over storage cupboards and a small deep-freeze on the other side of the hole in the wall.
• The cooker could be replaced by a small AGA-60 City.
• The shelf above the cooker will be moved up a bit and fitted with lights underneath.
• I think a fold-away stool would be better.
• It is currently planned that there will be a low wooden wall between the two sides, that will be topped by a steel beam, so that hot serving dishes can be placed there.
• The flange of the beam could also be used to store condiments, sauces, oils and other things that might be needed both inside and outside the kitchen.
• I haven’t decided where to put the touch-screen pad computer, so I can display my Serial Cooking pages.
• You’ll notice that there isn’t much electrical equipment. The only equipment, that I use is a Delia’s Little Chopper, which I acquired long before she publicised them, a kettle and a microwave .
• You’ll notice the only gas in the kitchen is in the fire extinguisher.
• Gas incidentally, should be banned from inside the inhabited parts of dwellings on health and safety grounds.

Many of the pictures were taken with me sitting on one of my all purpose stools, that I designed over forty years ago and had made by a furniture maker. Incidentally, four were used as saw horses to support the work-top, whilst it was cut to size.
