Confessions of a Dish Pit Junkie
Hi, My name is Kat and I am a Dish Pit Junkie. If you have ever worked in a kitchen, then you know the dish pit. At it's most basic it's the place where the dishes get washed. But it is so much more than that. It's like a puzzle waiting to be solved. How to get a mountain of (if you're lucky) haphazardly stacked, often food laden, dirty dishes, pots and pans, into orderly stacks of pristine clean dishes. It has broken many a dish hand and is why most Chefs DON'T DO DISHES!!! But being the Uncommonly Common-Sensical Chef that I am, in every kitchen I've ever run I never ask anyone else to do anything I'm not willing and able to do myself. If something needs to get done, anybody can wash a dish.

Top 10 Farmhouse Porches!
One of my favorite features of a classic farmhouse is the front porch, even better if it's a large wraparound porch. The front porch can really set the tone for a whole home. If it's cozy and welcoming, it can make the house feel instantly warm and happy. If the porch isn't well kept and doesn't seem to have much personality, it can make the home feel cold and not cared for.
