As many of us in the States spent a significant amount of time in the kitchen yesterday—cooking, eating and cleaning up—it occurred to me that might be fun to take a look at what we might have encountered in 1869. The narrow windows wouldn't have let in much light, and the convenience of running water wasn't in evidence. But there's certainly lots of well-organized storage space and expansive work surfaces. Food for thought, I'd say.
