Huh? I thought it was. You said "(either home or eventing)". I guess up
in your area you must do most (all?) of your event cooking in institutional
type kitchens. We do some of that here in Ansteorra but probably just
as many or more at primative sites with a grill and a set of concrete
tables, if you are lucky. But on second thought I can see where that
might not be what you were thinking of.

What would I do? Probably more room. We just cleaned off the counters and
now I can once again mix together food on the counter instead of on
the edge of the counter or between the stove burners. So more counters.
And more cabinets to put things in. While I now have a Kitchenaid food
processor after some of the talk from this group, it is somewhat difficult
to use since I have to drag it out of the garage in it's box, put it
togother then box it back up at the end.

I'm only getting into this cooking thing, so I guess I haven't formed
a lot of desires on specific things yet. I've already got a gas stove
instead of an electric. A full-size freezer instead of the one built
into the refrigerator would be nice so I could store left over broth
or bones to make broth and items bought on sale. And if there are
no limits, an herb garden that someone else takes care of.
