Published December 30. 2020 7:35AM By I have a good kitchen in my condo although not as nice as the one I had in Old Lyme, where my husband knocked down walls between two rooms, then got rid of a hallway. When he was done, and with help from a carpenter neighbor, that kitchen was 24 feet by 17 feet, the center island could hold 10 people, my 42-inch gas stove had six burners, and there was a separate pantry that held all my ingredients. Today my stove is electric, and I was sure I would ruin my pots and pans, but I have not. It is just a galley kitchen, and most of my foodstuff takes up two-thirds of the hall closet. But I have lots of kitchen counter space, the kitchen sink is almost as big as the one I had in Old Lyme, and I am able, on a shelf under the bay window, to have all my small appliances close by: a big KitchenAid mixer, a Ninja that purees in a fraction of a second, a big and a little Cuisinart, a Rival Crock-Pot, two little grinders (one for spices, one for coffee) and one that has become a favorite, a 6-quart Instant Pot.
