At least you can split the cleaning over several days.

Which is a mixed blessing, as this way I can "enjoy" several days of cleaning...

Hand grating anything is a pain. I dislike doing it, even for easy stuff like cheese and carrots. I refuse to invest in any kind of machine, however. It would just take up space and only get used half a dozen times per year. I'm all about keeping kitchen gadgets to a minimum.

Errr... I think I used the wrong word. I actually meant grinding, not grating - still done by hand, though. My English vocabulary is abysmal when it comes to kitchen activities. Sorry.

I very much agree with you about keeping kitchen gadgets to a minimum. There was a time when I tended to buy totally unnecessary things - only to get rid of them a year or three later. I still wish I would have the room for a food processor, though; one that could be kept at hand all times. That would spare me three or four other gadgets. Alas, the things are too big for our kitchen, and keeping them in a cupboard and have to dig them out every other day is just too much hassle for me.

Housework is a plague if you have to do ut all alone!

Well, Mum does insist on doing the washing up (multiple times a day) but that often generates even more things to do. Still, I am grateful for her help.
