What she said (or he) - theinnerblocks. :) I admire you clean and organized cooks!
I'm a messy cook. Not gonna say more than that. Just, my kitchen might pass inspection for invisible germs, but the rest... (see previous comments on hoarding, and add to that, um, laziness? inertia? a sense of futility? apathy?)
Now I have to get out of the house rather than face my messy countertop, cluttered as it is... not gonna photograph this!!
LOL!! The photo doesn't even begin to capture the clutter!!! I feel better about myself somehow.

My grandma used to make cottage cheese in a cloth sack strung up from a clothesline, dripping into a bucket below... never made yogurt. And I have all these dairy allergies, and soy or coconut or almond alternatives all have been gross. *I miss butter! I miss ice cream! and cheese--glorious cheese!
