What's your worst kitchen habit?!
What's your worst kitchen habit?
I don't think mine's a bad habit, but it annoys the heck out of my husband. I have a tendency to throw stuff in the sink that shouldn't be there. For instance, paper towels that I've just used to dry my hands, empty cans, empty wrappers for things. I do this when I'm cooking so that I can get the stuff off the counter without having to run to the trash can 20 times, and interrupt my cooking. When I take a break, I scoop everything up and throw it away. Don't know why it bothers him so much.
I also have a tendency to wipe my hands on my shirt/shorts (not for everything--just flour, sugar, etc.) I really need to wear an apron...

That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea... I waste soo much time going to the trashcan and back etc etc. Usually I'll use a large bowl that I used to mix together ingredients (so its soiled anyways), and I'll dump all the trash in that and then just dump it all in the trash at the same time.
Anyways, MY worst kitchen habit would have to be drinking something while cooking, and when I'm done I'll just put the glass in the dishwasher... and then 5 minutes later I'll get a new glass out and fill it up with what I was drinking before. So by the end of the meal, I've used more than 4 glasses for the same drink.
