Kitchen coveting

[cosmolinguist]

I accidentally read a blog post about good stuff for small kitchens and then fell down this rabbit hole of things I suddenly really really want, like cabinet shelves (though I am of course sure I could find some less expensive way to get the same result!) and under-cabinet lighting (though it's not exactly under the cabinets that I need more light, the whole kitchen is so terribly lit and dingy that it couldn't hurt!) and my house actually has some of this wildly useful kitchen shelving stuff...but in the basement -- I keep meaning it get it out of there and install these things upstairs, perhaps a good inaugural project for the little cordless drill ejbigred has gifted me! Plus it turns out you can (at least in America...) get stick blenders with food processor attachments, which was very exciting because it seems so many of the recipes I'm interested in lately call for a food processor, or at least are things that'd be incredibly easy if I had one and are difficult or too faffy to do without (my stick blender has already been asked to occasionally do the job of afood processor, leading to okay but not great results, and once a nasty flesh wound...). And I'm hoping that a stick-blender kind might be a bit cheaper as that's far more of a concern to me than how much space it takes up.

We had one for ages, miss_s_b burnt out the motor then we got given my parents of processor so didn't replace it. I loved it and getting a replacement remains on my wishlist for kitchen stuff as it was just so very handy and easier to clean quickly than the bigger gadgets. Think ours was a Phillips, but the supermarkets have versions.

Ikea do little shelves to go in cupboards.

But that means...going to Ikea ::shudder::

(I went to Ikea once. We didn't get on well. :) )

Yeah, Ikea very much divides opinions! I have a very good sense of direction, so don't have a problem getting around and making use of the shortcuts, but I can imagine that with impaired vision it could be hard figuring out where you're even meant to go next!
