Same here. These apartments have really small kitchens, as a lot of senior residents don’t do much cooking. After my HUGE kitchen in Portland, this was a bit of a shock. However, one whole wall was open. One could either put a small table there to eat at, or, as I did, buy and install two sets of shelves, one for appliances and one for pans and utensils. In between them is a wooden roll-away work surface/trash bin area that I installed a power strip on. So all of my small appliances are within reach, along with mixing bowls, and I can pull out something like a processor, put it on the rollaway and plug it in. Preparing meals in there is still like working on some sort of complicated puzzle, where you have to move something in order to use something else, but it’s a dance I can do. When it comes to making bread or some other complicated thing, I can use the dining table for rolling, stuffing, dough rising, etc.
