Two Kitchen Essentials

 You got to have these two fellows on your kitchen - the mini trash can adjacent to your sink and the ladles, knives etc. organizer. I really find them great especially the organizer, you have got everything in one place. See each sample photos below.

Yes, you have the larger one for all the other garbages you have at home but it is better if you would have a separate small bin adjacent to the faucet sink – dedicated just for the wet leftovers from plates and cooking mess (like fruits and vegies’ peel etc.) 

Other Great Uses of Wooden Plates

Wooden plates we can buy from most Japan Surplus shops are very useful in our kitchen.  They of course can be used as the regular purpose – do not be afraid of the varnish you see, for eating purposes the manufacturers of course used a health-friendly, we call that food-grade varnish.  No harm when small chips ingested.  I believe that is true because I knew of dyes that come from natural source like plants and the dye for chorizo from a kind of bug as seen in Food CIA. Government agencies regulating manufacturing plants will not allow harmful products be made like the function of  Health Departments.
