Day 347: A Handy Appliance

The author reflects on a valuable addition to her Lodge kitchen: a two-drawer refrigerator. Initially, she questioned its necessity during the planning phase, but after actively using the kitchen, she has come to appreciate its convenience and efficiency. This appliance is strategically located in the baking area, separate from the main kitchen. This placement allows for immediate access to essential baking ingredients such as butter, cream, and eggs, which are readily available at arm's reach. The author acknowledges that while walking to the main refrigerator for these items wouldn't be a significant hardship, having them directly accessible significantly streamlines the baking process, enhancing overall efficiency. The top drawer of the appliance currently contains butter, cream, and eggs. The author anticipates that the bottom drawer, currently empty, will eventually be filled with a variety of baking necessities. These will include milk, eggs, butter, cream, sour cream, cream cheese, buttermilk, herbs and cheese for savory breads, pecans, lemons, and apples. Her approach to stocking the refrigerator is to allow ingredients to accumulate naturally rather than filling it completely all at once. This practical consideration ensures that the appliance will be utilized effectively for her baking endeavors. She humorously notes that this new appliance, by making baking even easier, presents a potential challenge to her dietary habits due to the increased accessibility of baked goods. The article also provides an extensive biographical sketch of Ree Drummond, the author.
