Kitch Cure? YOU MUST BE CRAZY!

I thought I had quit The Kitchn.com.

Last year I "Participated' in the yearly Kitchn Cure and it drove me a bit batty. (You can check the kitchn tag.)

So when I saw they were doing another cure I thought "Oh, FUCK you!"

And then I looked at my kitchen...and then looked back at the web page.

"20 Assignments, 20 Days

We've tweaked the formula a bit each year. At times the Cure has been an 8-week project. Last year we cut it down to just two intense weeks. We heard from many of you that this was too brief a time to deep-clean the kitchen, especially when juggling busy schedules.

So this year The Kitchn Cure is back to a 4-week schedule of 20 brief assignments that can be done in about an hour or much less each day."

The insanity of the tasks last year (deep clean your kitchen is not a task, it is a lifetime) plus the "now you can buy more stuff!" posts soured me.

But my life is different now. I have a less busy but more irregular schedule. The regularity of my former schedule gave me a better idea of when I would need packed lunches and what times of the week food prep would be best. Now I find myself eating more often on the go and relying on convini food even though I should have more time to cook. The physical demands of my new life also would be best served by cooking more.

Oh. And a few weeks ago I started making my own laundry powder and ordered a bunch of white vinegar and such for making "cleaner" cleaners...so my spray bottles are ready.

So...into the Cure I plunge.
