Well, for me it should be.... if you DON'T have a junk drawer, where is it? ROTFL. No,really I have one junk drawer in the kitchen next to the sink.
Kitchen – Color and decorating scheme
Well, we haven't been able to do much to the kitchen since we moved in, so it's still white. I have an ivy theme though.

I have a big white plastic container that I keep my cookbooks in (on the fridge, that's how often you can tell I look at them.) and my cards are in a clear container that I got in the mail. I would have liked to continue with the recipe mail thing, but I did have to admit to myself that I never cook. ROTFL. So, I don't really need new recipes all the time.

I have a few bath mats and a few small carpets, so mostly I just sweep them up, or use my manual little sweeper. I'm thinking about getting one of those little dust devil ones soon.

Jeffie and I take turns pushing eachother out the door to shovel or whatever. HAHA. I love to garden, so I'm in charge of the flowers and stuff. Jeffie was in charge of the lawn, but it never got done (in his defence, he works 6 days a week), so this year we're hiring a maintenence crew.
Zzz’s – What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
I go in and take care of my pets. I clean Frappie's cage, and give her fresh food and water, and give her a treat to put her back in her cage. Then I feed my fish, and turn off their light. That's always just about the last thing I do each day.

You've never made doughnuts???
OK, here's a simple way to do it and Gabey will love 'em!
Now, the first time I ever made doughnuts I did it this way, but as time has passed, I've learned ways to make them even better with my own dough.
Take a can of Grands biscuits and use a pop bottle cap to make a hole in the center or just use your fingers to make a hole. If you use a bottle cap, you can use THAT dough for making doughnut holes. :)
Anyway, drop the biscuit in a deep fryer or pot of hot oil until it's golden brown on the bottom. It'll float on top. When it's golden on the bottom just use a fork to flip it over until it's golden on that side too. As soon as it comes out, roll it in a homemade glaze made of confectioner's sugar, water, and flavoring. The doughnut holes are good rolled in powdered sugar too. But remember that they will puff up pretty big.

oh man, those sound awesome!!
i keep looking at those deep fryers, and wondering if i'd ever use one. i'd most likey cook my fries and stuff in it all the time.
You don't have to have a deep fryer, but it's easier to use than a cooking pot. Of course, if you do use a cooking pot, make sure it's a larger saucepan. I have one that's in between the sizes of a cooking pot and a regular sized saucepan. That's what I used before my deepfryer, which I LOVE! LOL
