"We cook a lot in advance — Daniel and I are great weekend cooks. As a result we have what you could call an extensive sub-pantry with rice, pasta, muesli makings. I got these stainless steel canisters four or five years ago at a 99¢ store; they're ideal for storing staples."

I haven't had a dishwashing machine for years and never miss it. I used to find it so aggravating having to pull things out of the dishwasher when I needed them before I had a full load to wash but I too find washing up is a time to regroup and reflect.

While I can't say that doing dishes is soothing, I can say that we are about to buy a small farmhouse and there is no dishwasher.. I can't wait. I hate being a slave to it. My dishwasher is either full or needs emptying.. there's never any in between!

I love it! We lived (until recently) for 9 years as a couple in a tiny studio. Our kitchen was so small, and only had 1/2 of a counter. As well it had one cupboard, that I divided into four sections, 1) dishes, 2) pantry items, 3) serving platters, and 4) baking goods. No dishwasher and no washer or dryer (which I love that you have in your kitchen), and our stove and fridge were "college" sized. No one could believe the meals we cooked in that tiny kitchen. Or that we lived as a couple for 9 years in that tiny space. It didn't hold us back, it just made us more creative, and more in love.

We are in a bigger space now, but often talk about how we miss tiny living.
