It's so difficult to work in, with very little counterspace, so my dream kitchen will have usable surface area everywhere.

Here in Greece we have two hot-plates and a small oven, but it's surprising what you can cook when you put your mind to it. The only trouble is that I'm sure sometimes the power company waters down the electricity.

It's amazing the awesome things I can cook with my microwave, toaster oven and crock pot, but I miss being able to boil water for boiled eggs or pasta on a stove.
