And when exactly did I "trick" you? hmm? When was that? Was it about ants?

Ok. maybe it was.

@SarraceniaWilds @JessTheUnstill

I don't think I've done a good enough job conveying the smallness of the kitchen this would be for.

I'd totally get this... but it means replacing my sink and I like my sink. It's 80 years old and perfect.

@jesuisatire @danlyke

I didn't even give the link.

(on purpose.)

@fivetonsflax

I have learned so much about induction stoves today im gonna cry...

@SarraceniaWilds @JessTheUnstill

"putting the hot and the cold and the wet so close together"

But this is the essence of "the kitchen"

and maybe also the bathroom...

@jef @QasimRashid

no one told him?

@IngaLovinde

I don't know where to install this. That's the problem. I guess it could just sit on a table and I could find a table to go where the stove is?

I don't want to tear out my counters and cabinets. The ones we have are great. They are 80 years old and very charming.

@uncomfortable_plateau

She looks like a Trish or maybe a Tina?

Rhytidoponera metallica

@flipper @ellestad @MxVerda @benh

Good point.

@flipper @ellestad @MxVerda @benh

Yes.

Contemplate how the water is heavy when you carry it in the pot, but it makes you feel lighter after the tea is gone. A mystery.

@ellestad @MxVerda @benh

Of course you can't take the water right from the cold fast running brook. You must bring it down from the mountain in a clay jar, let it rest for 3 days in the shade under a cloth, then bring the jar back up the mountain so you can sit by the brook (in sympathy with the source) and cook it over your clay stove.

Otherwise? Are you even drinking tea?

(I would have been SO GOOD at being an independently wealthy scholar who lived in the mountains and wrote about tea.)

@ellestad @MxVerda @benh

Real tea heads insist on water boiled by a cold fast running brook on a clay chaozho...

@MxVerda @benh

"who the fuck coffee'd a kettle?!"

Someone wise enough not to let me find out who they were.

Every place I've worked has had a kettle and EVERY single one made coffee flavored water unacceptable for tea.

This is why I hide a kettle under my desk.

Hotel kettles? About half of the time they have been touched by coffee. I don't know what people are doing. Heating it up again maybe?

@clarablackink @jaystephens

I don't see how this relates to fridge size though?

@jztusk @catmisgivings

I know the notion of boiling a frog is a myth.

But.

This is boiled frogs. If people could only see how bad it's gotten they would recoil in horror.

@raganwald

"an uninformed person's idea of notability."

This is why it has that "AI" stink to it.

@jaystephens

Big fridge makes sense if going to buy food is a journey, or if you need to buy in bulk. But in NYC? Why would I store frozen meals in my house when I can store them downstairs at the grocery store and go get one if I'm hungry?

And never need to thrown them out if I forgot about them.

@leadore

I have a toaster oven that does EVERYTHING I'd want an oven to do. I have not used the thing for two years.

@jaystephens

Thank you for making me feel a little less freaky. Part of me thinks "it's not that complex, ordinary solutions should be fine" but

I don't think that's really true if I'm honest.

@biogeo

Same. Let's start a gang.
