The rules are easy. I will ask a question. The first person who comments will answer my question, and will leave a question for the next person to answer. This next person will answer that question, and leave a question for the next next person to answer. I am sure you get it! ;)To make things more fun, the questions have to reflect the chosen theme. For example, if the theme is “Water,” all questions should relate to water. How do you like your water — hot or cold? Do you have a fear of deep waters? As much as possible, let’s not repeat the questions for added fun! You are also welcome to play more than once!
Let’s begin with the third weekend soiree.
The theme: KITCHEN
My question for Person #1: Is there anything colored RED in your kitchen? If yes, what is it?
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

January 5, 2008 at 4:52 am (16 years ago)A kitchen is that place where all those yummy comfort foods come from. And where your mother made you go to wash dishes!

jeanny
January 5, 2008 at 11:30 am (16 years ago)my microwave. I find my microwave so useful. I can heat up anything there. I could even cook simple dishes like poached egg, mashed potato, bake muffins and a lot. so I considered my microwave so valuable for me. 😉
Next question: What is this kitchen chore you hate most and why?
Rach (Heart of Rachel)
January 5, 2008 at 11:37 am (16 years ago)I don’t like washing the dishes because my hands are sensitive to dish washing detergents.
Does your kitchen have a theme or design that is prominent?
macy
January 5, 2008 at 11:40 am (16 years ago)chopping onions and mincing garlic.
i always, always end up crying in chopping onions.
i don’t like mincing garlic (and chopping onions) bec its so hard to get rid of the garlic scent on my fingers.
what is a kitchen chore that you love the most and why?

January 5, 2008 at 12:04 pm (16 years ago)what is a kitchen chore that you love the most and why?
when i come back from the farmers market, most of the vegetables are fresh and still have earth (soil) on them, i love spending time cleaning, cutting, storing .. I hate those pre cut vegetables and salad you get at the supermarket.
for me this is so calming as opposed to my frenetic life. so i really set time aside doing this.
oh i have not done this for a while the past weeks i just sit down for my lunch and dinner chef doing the cooking 😉 but cant wait when i get back home and scour the farmers market.
question:
does your family spend a great deal of time in the kitchen?
Em Dy
January 5, 2008 at 1:52 pm (16 years ago)Common to most Filipino homes is a dirty kitchen and that’s where most of the cooking happens. My family eat our meals in the real kitchen where we share stories about our day while watching either the early morning show for breakfast, a toss between Wowowee and Eat Bulaga for lunch and Lastikman for dinner. The real dining room is used on Sundays, holidays or when we have guests. Otherwise, the kitchen is where the family sit down to eat.
Why do you think they call it dirty kitchen when the kitchen should be the cleanliest room in the house?
Em Dy
January 5, 2008 at 3:05 pm (16 years ago)I meant cleanest room of the house…

Toni
January 5, 2008 at 8:07 pm (16 years ago)From Rach: Does your kitchen have a theme or design that is prominent?
It’s silver, brown and white. The apartment’s theme. I guess when I buy appliances and decor I make sure it fits within the given theme already.
From Em: Maybe somebody meant messy instead of dirty! It could be the messiest place at home but the quickest one to be cleaned anyway for hygienic purposes!
Are there any unwashed items in your kitchen sink right now? Be honest! 😀
Junnie
January 5, 2008 at 10:55 pm (16 years ago)Use Curtain and Kitchen in one sentence:
“Wag mo akong Curtain, masaKitchen….”
Yes, Toni we have one unwashed item in the kitchen, the rag…we “never” really want a pile up kahit walang ipis at langgam sa Canada…(actually meron, and that’s for another blog entry)
What do you do in the kitchen aside from cook food? (Don’t think kinky here, PG-13 ang Wifely Steps)

January 6, 2008 at 1:37 am (16 years ago)^ our kitchen’s the usual size. uhm, it’s much bigger than my room.
how much time do you spend in your kitchen everyday?
Rebecca
January 6, 2008 at 3:48 am (16 years ago)Q: How much time do you spend in your kitchen everyday?
A: As little as possible.
Seriously, not much… As mentioned previously, my husband does much of the cooking, including making my lunch for work.
New question…
What is your favorite food to cook (or to have your husband cook)?
JaJireh
January 6, 2008 at 7:06 am (16 years ago)What’s my fave dish to cook? I’ll have to answer by saying that anything with tomatoes init is my fave . . .spanish rice, goulash, spaghetti, lasagna, etc. etc. etc . ..yum, yum!
So, do you wash your kitchen floor with a mop, or on you hands and knees??
Daphne
January 6, 2008 at 9:56 am (16 years ago)Sometimes I use the mop but mostly I make wisik wisik the floor cleaner then step on the rag (basahan) then slide along the floor in the process cleaning it. hehe
Is your kitchen, male or female? 😀
mamajo
January 6, 2008 at 11:05 am (16 years ago)Is your kitchen male or female?
My answer: Unisex! It’s not too girly. Except for the peach & green drawers that my landlady has installed, I didn’t decorate my kitchen. It has a purely functional look–no flowery and frilly stuff.
Q: Which one do you like to do mostly: Cooking or Baking?
Connie
January 8, 2008 at 9:03 am (16 years ago)A: Cooking.
Q: Which do you prefer, a cleaver or a chef’s knife?
mika
January 8, 2008 at 10:08 am (16 years ago)Chef’s knife! Because it makes me feel like a chef, hahaha
If you had an unlimited budget, what is the one thing you would want to add into your kitchen?
Leah
January 8, 2008 at 11:41 am (16 years ago)i would love an island, a dish washer, a deluxe stainless steel fridge, stove , etc …
Oh you just asked for one…. If I have unlimited budget…I’d redecorate the whole kitchen.
Do you have a hand mixer or a stand mixer for baking?
ayen
January 9, 2008 at 3:43 pm (16 years ago)I have a stand mixer though I rarely use it as I don’t really know how to make. I’m more of a cook.
Do you have utensils made of wood? (like chopping boards, sandok) I love those!!!
J
January 9, 2008 at 5:35 pm (16 years ago)Answer: Yes, we do! We have wooden sandokssss. 😀
What was the last thing you cooked that took hours to prepare?
kaoko
January 9, 2008 at 6:46 pm (16 years ago)Fun fun!
Korean Beef Stew. I usually soften the beef for hours on end, but then, I usually wander off to read a book or do stuff on the PC while it’s cooking so I’m not sure it totally counts. If it doesn’t, probably labor intensive stuff like large batches of lumpiang shanghai, since I usually prepare them for freezing.
What did you eat for lunch and did you like it?
blue
January 10, 2008 at 8:23 pm (16 years ago)i ate shrimp pesto but not in our kitchen (some restaurant) and i didn’t enjoy it. makes me wish i simply cooked something that i would enjoy.
what are your fondest kitchen memories? =)
