What's in your kitchen?

This was written in April 2006 when I was commenting at another blog, that kitchens encourage us to over eat, by design. I noted all the stuff that wasn't food in my kitchen, but which keeps you in there--eating.

What is in your kitchen and kitchen cabinets that has nothing to do with your eating or food preparation and storage? Here's my list:

    small TV (never on during meal time)
    radio/cd player
    car keys
    stash for charge card receipts
    basket for mail
    cat's food and water bowl
    junk drawer for candles, pencils, addresses, stamps, calendar etc.
    telephone
    notepad
    reminders of appointments
    artwork
    magazines
    cleaning supplies
    kleenex
    flower vases
    several games
    seasonal decor as needed
    medications
    flashlight
Looking around today, I could add
    prayer job jar
    cell phone
    calendar
    recent letter
    grocery circular
    candles and matches on the counter (storm warnings)
    hand lotion and alcohol wash
    bag of garbage (too cold to take it out last night)
    greeting card to be sent
    invitation to a party
    church newsletter
    husband's sunglasses
    cat's medication
Looks like it is time to tidy. The only thing from the first list moved out is the cd player.
