Decluttering, or not

I was part of a writers’ retreat this weekend. The location was great, but lacked a stove. “I’ve got this,” I said.

I went home and got the electric skillet I’d inherited from my mother. I used it this morning to fry bacon, and sausages, and eggs scrambled and sunny-side-up. (Not both at the same time, though. An egg cannot be simultaneously scrambled AND sunny-side-up, except in Schrödinger’s kitchen.)

It was the first time I’d used it since I had it. The decluttering experts say to get rid of anything you haven’t used in a year. Those experts weren’t around to help me cook breakfast this morning.

‪And, by the way, the electric skillet? Avocado green, baby.‬
