Finally got started on actually writing the essay. Figured that if I didn't start now, I'd just end up "taking notes" forever.
400 words later, I've actually met my target for the day. And I'm extremely tired. Whisky is finished, and the bed looks welcoming.
@kdfrawg I don't think I could have 18-foot ceilings without a mezzanine. Or a huge set of shelves/drawers.

@kdfrawg I'd be reluctant to have more than a total of 7 people in the entire apartment at any given time :o

@kdfrawg The advantage you have, of course, is that you live in a big house :) I have a 1br apartment designed for aesthetic appeal, not functionality.
@kdfrawg I buy as much as I can in bulk, at least as much as I'm sure I'll use. Like oil.
@kdfrawg I've been considering using 500ml water bottles. It may be the only way to maintain order whilst avoiding using 2 containers for each spice.
@kdfrawg Ah yes, those. They'd work if those bottles had greater capacity — I don't have space to have the bags of spices as well as little bottles.
Every time I try to do more than 1 thing in this kitchen, I get frustrated in a way that only adrenaline can provoke. The layout of the cupboards, combined with the lack of pull-out racks or indeed any thought for spice racks, is ridiculous. If the counters had more space, I'd lay all the spices out, but I can't. .
And I say adrenaline because the kitchen is, for me, a high-energy, high-heat place.
@skematica Hmm, not sure about that. A cut with a sharp knife that one lost control of is far better than a stab with a blunt blade that slipped.
