As accidents go, this one was far overdue. I am more likely to make a mess in the kitchen than anywhere else, and I haven’t had a spectacular disaster in a long time. I was carrying a loaded coffee filter toward the brewer. How it jumped out of my hand, I’ll never know. Dry coffee exploded over the floor, with deep brown particles skittering everywhere. The dust buster cleaned it up within minutes. Now when I turn on the little machine for a quick pickup, residue of Dutch chocolate coffee perfumes the air around it. It was almost, ALMOST, enough to make me want to clean.

Maybe leaving some of those little brown particles around is a new way of adding delicious scent to your kitchen! 🙂

I had a well-scented kitchen today! After starting another pot of coffee, I cleaned the floor.

Clean? Heavens no! Today I was carrying a ear of corn through the kitchen to through out for the squirrels. It slipped out of my hands and hit the floor. There were kernels everywhere! It did not make my kitchen smell better. I used a dust pan and brush. Old school.

Oh, no! Not an ear of corn! I’m all for alternative cleaning methods. If you didn’t have cats, you could have invited the squirrels in to clean it up. They might have cleaned out a few other things, too.

I like that almost almost part. Glad you didn’t fall for the trap.

I usually have flour explode from my mixer when I start it out to fast. Kind of like being in a snow/flour storm……lots of white everywhere.

That’s appropriate for your area! I found a series of light tan bumps on our back splash and figured I’d raised the mixer too soon. Luckily, the bumps were too far away, and I couldn’t lick them to see what they began life as.

LOL. I am picturing you leaning over to lick them!! I find the older I get my vision is less reliable….maybe that is a blessing????

Eggs, without fail I lose more eggs to the kitchen floor or counter top or inside the fridge or down the front of the cabinets or inside the burners…if they hit the floor, Dog is allowed to help clean.

Eggs! My eggs haven’t taken it upon themselves to fall on the floor. My worst disaster was a pot full of red, red spaghetti sauce. It hit the back door, the front of the stove, and the floor. Ugh!
