Lonely Expensive Kitchens
I can’t cook.
Complete give away that you live in a house with three bathrooms, 3-car garage, have a sailboat and take winter vacations in February while our toes in Canada, refuse to wiggle.
Most of all, you can’t cook because you have a state-of-the-art kitchen with all the German appliances the builder could fit in every available space. The refrigerator is like a walk-in closet, only cold.
Yes indeed, your kitchen is a piece of steel or pine art, therefore you shower it with eye admiration. You don’t want to spoil it with the aroma of chicken roast, beef stew, paella or pasta.
I can’t cook. State-of-the-art kitchens are like orphans. They feel abandoned so they behave like a snail, when it folds into its shell. I’m actually scared of snails. I don’t understand how something so small is that brilliant.
Self-preservation, I guess. Expensive kitchens protect themselves by being cold, even though it’s sunny in California. They are cold in the sense that they are not welcoming, not like a wood stove that warms the whole house.
Expensive kitchens all over the world look forward to the day when kitchen German appliances like microwaves, will have the internet, so that they can chat about their loneliness.
