Kitchen Choreography

Our kitchen is a marvel of function and storage.  Anna designed it for maximum usage and convenience.  The only thing lacking is floor space.  We all seem to wind up in there together, no matter what the schedule - that's the way it is with good kitchens - and good food.  Even Mr.J (dog) and Mr. F (cat) are in there with us.  Mr. F likes to sit on the counter by the faucet, until someone turns it on for him to have a drink.  Mr. J just likes to be in the middle.  So we have developed a ballet-like dance of swoops, turns, yoga positions, and pirouettes so we all seem to move in a direction that gets us out of the way of whomever is actually trying to do something besides standing and talking, and drinking  wine.  Like cooking a delicious meal.  Somehow it all works and no one has had any seriuos injuries so far.  And dinner is always the best part.
