Small kitchen, minimal housekeeping
I removed a big drying rack for the dishes that was installed in the first place.
Removing the drying rack allowed me more space.
Baking soda kitchen soap and loofah.
I do the dishes right after I finish my meal.
When the dishes are done, wipe the bowl with a dry kitchen cloth.
After all the dried dishes are located to where they belong,
that's when the whole dish washing is finished.
Bowls, a pot and a frying pan are stored in the upper cabinet.
I prefer to have spaces between things.
A flat round plate I use most frequently.
A deep plate used for soup and curry.
and a small bowl
Using my favorite tableware makes me feel special.
This is my base cabinet under sink.
I store my utensils and loofah on the door.
A natural loofah gives you satisfaction as you use it.
Cup and saucer for a cup of tea or coffee.
I store oil, sesame oil, baking soda and vinegar in the empty space in the back.
A small thin chopping board is perfect for a small kitchen.
My favorite spices and salt
Salt, parsley, oregano, and black pepper
I keep my spices in small containers to avoid steam and moisture.
Water purifier is installed in the base cabinet under sink.
No more ordering and storing plastic bottled water.
Just one set of flatware for daily use.
This is where I store more tableware under my built-in table.
Grater, steamer insert, food container, tumbler, coffee, tea bags
Grater, with a versatility with the 4 sided design
A steamer insert for rinsing and draining foods or steaming
Easy to pull out when you're done steaming ingredients.
I won't purchase any more of tea bags or coffee bags.
And there are a mixing bowl, stainless container and a vegetable brush underneath.
There is another space above the microwave.
A space for sea salt and extra flatware.
Microwave is not plugged as I rarely use it.
Greasy range hood filter
I'm going to wash the filter with baking soda and detergent.
First, add baking soda.
Soak in hot water for 2 hours.
Brush them with detergent,
Rinse with water and you're done!
Time to clean the kitchen tile floor.
This time I'm going to use sodium carbonate that bleaches.
Care to open the window for ventilation
Add hot water and mix
Apply the mixture to my toothbrush which is only being used for cleaning.
Brush between tile joint.
Let it stay for about an hour and wipe.
I'm on the way to Seongsu-dong for a photography exhibition.
Later I headed for a vegan restaurant.
This restaurant is also a zero-waste grocery store,
where you can buy the grocery at the exact quantity you want.
They carry eco-friendly products that can be reused.
I could see some items I've been already using. :)
There were so many books wanted to read. So I spent some more time after meal.
"We can make the earth clean with a meaningful consumption."
I went grocery shopping after reading few books at library.
There is only a large retail supermarket near my house,
but I'm going to try zero-waste shopping.
Pack carry sacks for vegetable and I'm on the go.
Most of organic ingredients are packed with plastics.
Organic, GMO free, zero-waste
I wasn't able to meet all these conditions,
I decided to stick with ingredients which are not necessary to be organic.
I will no more consume avocados that affect drought and water shortage.
This was my first zero-waste grocery shopping!
It won't be all easy to maintain zero-waste shopping,
I believe there will be some change if we continue.
Moreover,
I will try local food market for my various nutrition.
And definitely I'll use public trasportation.
I'm so glad there is no waste after organizing newly bought ingredients.
Thank you all my subscribers for watching.
