Good morning, I was fit to be tied the other day when I could not find my cookie sheet bake me a pizza. Don't you guys love it when sighted people move things and don't tell you just were they happen to have moved it? My home health people are really good about moving things and not telling me you try to tell them please let me know where you moved insert item here. I do that as well, I put the utensils that I'm using very close by or in the sink. As far as cleaning up any messes in the kitchen I start a sink full of soapy water, and clean whatever I am using as it's being used up so that way when I'm through cooking most or all of it is just about cleaned up and put away.
