The Kitchen that Produced No Food
There is a kitchen that has been built.
The countertops are granite; the stainless steel polished to a gleam. People wander in, admire it and say, “What a wonderful kitchen! The builders are brilliant! Look at this snazzy doo-dad and that fabulous whatchamakalit! I’ve never seen anything like it!”
All day, people stand in the kitchen and talk about the kitchen. The laminate floors should be tiled in marble. Perhaps a nice rose marble, to hide scuffs. Walnut. The cabinets should be redone in walnut. Absolutely. Nobody likes oak cabinets, anymore. There have been surveys done.
The builders saunter by, regularly, to much applaus. “The builders are here! Oh, this is so exciting! Have they built something new? Will they tell us that they are still building and will continue to build? Oh, I do hope so!”
Theoretically, you could cook absolutely anything in that kitchen. But you don’t cook in a show kitchen.
The cooking shall continue… elsewhere.
