2 Of a Pair – Simplicity in the Kitchen

by suvodeb

Today I want to talk about simplicity in your own kitchen. While I don’t have my own kitchen, but I’m sure a lot of you have, I tried to accomplish this simplicity just for myself in a maybe unique way. I want to share with you what idea came to be.

2 of a pair

I chose to only own every thing in the kitchen 2 times. 2 plates, 2 forks, to knives, to spoons, 2 glasses and so on. While my Mother still got many many dishes, I chose 2 of every kind for myself to “own” for a while. She had no problems with my decision, even less when I said that I will clean them by myself.

How does such a minimalistic kitchen life look like?

Today is my first day of this experiment and I ate already some toast. I’ve taken one plate and one knife, used it to make my toast and cleaned my plate directly after, my knife even before eating my toast. This really was not hard for me to accomplish. I mean, to clean one knife and plate it takes maybe 30 seconds. And there is no dishwasher needed anymore for myself. I’ll save some water by the way, that’s nice too.

I think I’ll enjoy this new little lifestyle change. We’ll see how long it will last. Maybe ’till forever?
And yes, Greenpeace is going to be proud of me.
