For Fun: What People Say About Your Kitchen

[holistica]

So I just wandered into my kitchen and picked up the raw cacao nibs I need to put through a coffee grinder, and that reminded me of some funny things that people have said about my kitchen appliances over the last 4 years. Hard to believe I've been a raw foodist for that long!

Anyway, I think it'd be fun to hear some of the things people have said about my fellow raw foodies kitchens.

I'll start:

"Why do you need two blenders?"

"But you don't drink coffee..." (reference above)

"That's a HUGE fruit bowl!"

"Why does that funny-looking microwave (dehydrator) have to run all the time?"

and then there's always, "what does that thing do?" in reference to the spiral slicer, onion chopper, etc...

That's all I can think of right now, though I'm sure there were more. How about yours?

A man that came in to do some work was standing in the living room from where he could see in to the laundry room and the kitchen and he looked at me with a very puzzled look on his face and said "why do you have so many sinks".
I have 3 (one full and 2 halves) for veg wash on one side and 2 full for wash up on the other and then the laundry sink in the laundry room.

"You have a tomato drawer? Seriously?"

"Do you really eat all that?" (looking at the fruit, veggies on the table and the sprouts, wheatgrass, etc.) *Ü*

Here is a good one: What do you do with all of those bananas? or do you think you will have enough bananas? (Meaning that i have so much they cannot believe that i will use this up, i have three larges pills of bananas for our smoothies and different recipes such pancake, icecream etc... ) lol....

I have two dehydrators, two food processors and two vitamis, yes we are busy in our kitchen..... It gets people talking

Enjoy your journey!

Shortly after moving in here a year and a half ago, my boyfriend broke our oven, and since it is a very small kitchen, we decided to skip getting a new one in lieu of upgrading our fridge size, and got a toaster oven for him. So, I get:

"Where's your oven? What do you mean you don't have one? How do you cook?"

I also store my bananas on shallow shelves lining my usually-open pantry closet, and there's usually about a dozen bunches of them hanging around, it's quite pretty! So I also get comments about that. People (most often at the grocery store) are a little perturbed that I eat all those bananas all by myself before they go bad!

Yesterday I was grocery shopping with my boyfriend (one of my favourite things to do, much to his dismay, lol!), and we ran into a girl we hadn't seen in a few years. I'd just finished choosing my grocery load, which consisted of about 12 bunches of bananas, four bags of oranges, about 8 bunches of various greens, a case of mangos, and lots of other things like papaya, tomatoes, avos, cucumber, etc. And it was a light load this week, because I still have some other stuff left at home!

Anyway, as we started chatting, the girl spied my shopping cart, did a quick once-over, then kind of stopped what she had been saying and gave my cart a more thorough look. My boyfriend explained to her, "Heather really likes her smoothies!" and she looked at the bananas and asked if I really ate that many. Absolutely! She was impressed with how healthy everything was, and said, "Well, you're just a crazy monkey banana lady!" I thanked her, cuz it's kind of true, and she laughed.

It's always amusing when other people comment on my grocery choices! They ususally can't fathom that I, myself, am actually going to eat 50 bananas and six bunches of kale before my next shopping trip!
