Every year, usually right before and right after New Year's Resolution day... I start thinking about organizing the kitchen stuff. Though I'm a habitual organizer, the kitchen stuff seems to get pushed to the bottom of the list and only surface organized. Beginning today, I am determined to take one item out of the dark recesses and either use it, figure out how to use it, or get rid of it. I already know what is first. That little hand held Braun blender. Fast forward...20 minutes... I did it! In 20 minutes I checked for some salsa recipes, rummaged for ingredients and substitutions, took photo shots, used the Braun blender, taste tested and checked off one more thing in my bucket list.
