Organizing your barware gadgets.

Let’s get frank about our liquor cabinets.

Frankly, they are messy.

If you thought baking and cooking gadgets were out of control, barware accessories are so ridiculously non-essential for the most part.

But I love ‘em.

I NEED multiple muddlers, aerators, and decanters.

I NEED to keep my late-aunt’s bar recipe books.

I NEED the cute bird shaped citrus ream even though I haven’t used it.

Yet.

 

There should be no surprise here with today’s de-cluttering tip.  I incorporate the same process as de-cluttering the cabinets and storing once-in-a-while items.

I propose that to keep your barware gadgets organized, pared down what you need (or want to NEED) and store in a see-through plastic shoe container.

Only this time, instead of storing in the garage or alternate location, keep this container in your liquor cabinet, within easy reach.

Easy.
Peasy.
Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

      This should be your #1 resolution for the year. You need a muddler! And what? No decanter? How are we related?

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

In pursuit of small joys that add simplicity to life. + @nwafoodie

There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am rea There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am ready for it! Yet..... that doesn't mean that I'm still hopeful for some cool mornings where we can light a fire!

There is something quite glorious about simplicity There is something quite glorious about simplicity. I'm really feeling it as Dennis and I sit here in our living room, next to the crackling fire. Full disclosure, this picture isn't me BUT I do have the exact same coffee cup. Anyoo, I'm reminded how wonderful it is to be still. Not that I ever forget that reminder, it's just easier to revel in it, next to a fire. With snow softing falling outside. You know what I mean?

First, it was a percolator.
Then came the Breville coffee maker.
Next, along came a bodum pour over.
Quickly replaced by a French Press.
Then came an Aeropress.
Followed by a rediscovery of a favorite instant brand we enjoyed in Isreal.
Now, Aeropress is making a comeback. 
And our beloved LaVazza espresso.
Which tastes like vacation at the Sonnelap in Vail.

Am I the only one who does coffee in phases?

What's next?

Probably need an espresso maker!

Microwave turntable = quick, fast, speed

Record player turntable = slow, easy, chill

Both have their places. But man, oh man, I am finding myself craving more of the latter: slow, easy, chill. 

Now, to get a record player...

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
