I am going to tell you how to enjoy cleaning your kitchen.
1. Pour yourself a lovely glass of red wine.
Recommended by moi -
3. Light a favorite candle - this one is my all-time, bar none, MOST FAVORITE EVER!
4. Rotate Etta James, Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Miles Davis, and maybe even a little Buble on your playlist.
5. Chinese Water Torture could be endured with this regimen, so something as mundane as cleaning the kitchen becomes downright enjoyable.
6. One downside - by the time you are finished, you are feeling like a hot and sultry version of June Cleaver and are terribly disappointed to remember that your handsome husband is not coming home. To avert this possible bursting of your mellow mood I suggest pouring another glass of wine and visualizing all the presents he is buying you.

Best post ever.
It ALMOST makes me want to go clean my kitchen. Almost.
NICE!!
Someone JUST gave us THAT bottle of wine -- guess we need to open it!!!
Cant wait to hear about the presents;)
Katie -
Had not heard of that, but just went and loooked it up. No wonder it makes you cry! The saddest part is that all of that advice is lost on its intended audience. You never start to "get it" until you are our age.
Mandy - That bottle is what we keep in the house for our daily all-purpose wine. If we cant get it, we substitute the Ecco Domani Merlot. Both of them are acidic enough to stand up to most foods, but are light enough on the tannins (and the Ecco is un-oaked) to not be too heavy for lighter meals or snacks. Both are economical choices, especially if you buy them in a volume discount! Our Costco just got in a HUGE supply of the Menage a tois! We were so excited!
I hate all wine. I should grow up and work on this.
So what do you recommend for laundry day???
