We don't cook sa kitchen kasi sira the range there for YEARS. Our dirty kitchen has cheaper finishing like it's tiles compared to the main kitchen na marble and the floor is finished concrete (?) Most importantly, the doors and windows are grills para lampasan ang hangin. It's also where fat lab stays during the day
when we were younger, many houses in the area had dirty kitchens, and only a few had indoor kitchens,
because many of us used forest products as fuel.
kahoy! firewood!
charcoal was for the rich, would you believe?
we grew up with the delicious taste of smoked food.
heh heh.
