Subject: EVERY Kitchen used to have one...........
Written By: zotsfreak on 12/22/05 at 6:09 am
Who remembers when every household used to have a single handy place in the kitchen where they kept all kinds of household essentials?
Ours had, amongst lots of other stuff, scissors, rubber bands, tape, screwdrivers, pliers, glue, small nails, thumb-tacks, wooden strike anywhere matches, the flashlight, tons of pencils and pens, the stapler, a ball of string, paper clips, a couple emergency candles, razor blades batteries

We still have one...
...not just one, but 7 Junk Drawers! (That's every drawer in the kitchen)
Wouldn't exactly call the stuff in 'em essentials or anything like that. Just junk.

We definitely have a junk drawer, I believe this tradition was carried over from my parents having one as well. We keep things like nails, lightbulbs, pens/pencils, batteries, thumbtacks, scissors, markers, and all other sort of misc. stuff in there. :)

We have two of them-complete with batteries (of just about every size), screwdrivers, rubber bands, and who knows what else in there.

Darn! I thought of posting "What is in your junk drawer" in the PPP last week. But I thought everyone would think I was nuts! :D What a coincidence! So, yea, we have a couple of junk drawers and they're so full, I need to clean them out soon!

Interesting "Evolution" of junk drawer contents when compared to my initial post about '60's and '70's junk drawers!
