Holiday Baking Prep
As holiday baking season approaches, I like to do a thorough cleaning of my kitchen. I'm not saying it's dirty, because it isn't, but the dark recesses and nether regions could be cleaner. I started the pre-holiday baking cleaning spree today by cleaning out the freezer, which wasn't difficult because most of our freezer food is outside on the porch in a cooler. I wiped down the inside and outside of the freezer and fridge. I didn't really spend a whole lot of time on this because we're getting a new fridge soon. I also wiped down the oven front, bottom and sides, cleaned out the junk that had fallen through the burners and washed those metal things under the burner coils. That was enough for today. Tomorrow I plan to wipe out the cupboards and drawers, and while I'm in the spice drawer, weed out all the old spices that need to be replaced.

As needed. When I lived alone, it was rare... with my roommate, I need to clean a lot more. He just doesn't think about cleaning up after himself, except for the kosher kitchen.

The maid and butler usually handle most of my cleaning needs. I had to let one go recently for not taking the knobs off the stove and cleaning behind them with a Q-Tip.
