In preparing for the move we've pared down the things we really don't care about in the kitchen. We now have place setting for two. The glasses we love and enjoy, the mugs that are the right shape and size.
We also have a whole mess of cooking tools and specialty machines that we use on a regular basis and love to pieces. Yes, I do need three mild steel cooking knives, and I do need the crock pot and the rice steamer and the good tools that I need to be good.
But I can go through a crappy fry pan in a year and buy a new one next year for $18, and we can eat off of paper plates.
Once I found where the joy was in my kitchen, it was easy to cater to it and throw away the things that don't bring me joy. An investment in joy is an investment in joy.
