I have a large kitchen for the size of my smallish place. No microwave

, but I have a toaster/convection oven in its place. The juicer, mixer, and blender are in the pantry, but I keep some cooking oils on the counter, curry mix on the counter, coffee press, tea kettle, a bottle of kahlua and some green glass containers on the counter. Three chopping boards of varying sizes in different places and I still have lots of counter space.
