Day 9 Task: Clean Your Small Appliances
One of the Kitchn Cure tasks earlier this week centered on reevaluating our pots, pans, and small appliances in the kitchen. Now that I have an “edited” kitchen space, it’s time to clean everything I kept! After cleaning the oven, stovetop, and range hood this week, cleaning the small stuff should be a breeze.
Food and bikes: is there any better combination? Maybe it’s because they both represent slow living, but for me food and bicycles go hand in hand. There’s nothing better than riding to the Saturday morning market and filling up your basket or backpack with fresh produce.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about hostess gifts and tokens of appreciation as we’re in the final stretch of planning our wedding and trying to figure out what we’d like to do for favors. While casual dinner parties are obviously much different in scope than a wedding, it’s gotten me thinking about what we bring with us when we go to visit friends and family — and how nice it is to break out of the ‘bottle of wine routine.’ While wine is often a safe bet and often very much appreciated, it can become a bit expected, and it’s fun to shake things up a bit, too.
Day 8 Task: Clean Your Stovetop and Range Hood
I have a small stove in my kitchen. There’s nothing that makes me realize this more than culinary school, where the stoves are big, the flames are even, and I don’t have to use a lighter to turn on the burners every time I want to cook. That being said, it helps me make a lot of delicious things, and I love that’s it’s gas, so it’s time to make peace with it’s size and give it a well-deserved cleaning.
