Like yours, Lydia and I have been focusing on the kitchen area in preparation for the holidays. We parted ways with an air fryer and an instant pot gifted to us. Initially, we thought both would be great for the family but then realized that we personally prefer a slower cooking method even if we are tight on time because it creates a space for socializing in one place after work.
Another area that overlaps with the kitchen is the pantry. We spent an afternoon going through it. We had a retrospective discussion, reflecting on how our habits and priorities changed as children grow and evolving work circumstances that affect our meal plans and schedules. Neat to have moments like those that make us pause and consider our relationships with things.
