Obsessive foodies ;-) (4.00 / 2)

In some ways I become a different person when shopping for food. Price goes out the window, and I am happy to chat inanely with vendors about arcane food matters. Food shopping is the only shopping I enjoy. Everything else is just logiistics.

You can't be me, I'm taken

For me it's food, cooking equipment, and books. Clothes and shoes - yuck, get twitchy just thinking about it - probably why I tend to put it off until they've literally fallen to pieces.

This I can dig. I designed my kitchen like a sushi bar so guests have to sit and talk to me rather than going off into another room and laughing about things I can't follow.

Right behind the counter is Lundia shelving which holds all the things I need when I am cooking (hardware/software) - within arm's reach. Between the counter and the back shelves is quite narrow - maybe 7500 mm. That is where I hold court, and to where only my closest friends dare to invade ;-) (although bartenders seem to instinctively gravitate there - one told me that he feels safer behind the counter)

7500mm, narrow ?!? (says the Paris 35 square meters appartment inhabitant)
