Description:

This is a series of (very) short stories, all revolving around the kitchen as the center of the home. There are roughly 30 stories.
Prompts came from the front of a KraftMaid kitchen cabinets magazine (of all things).
These are all one-shots unless it is noted that they are connected to another story. There are no plans to extend any of them.
Each story comes with its own tags, please heed the tags.
