Rule: Have Internet in the kitchen

This is just a must. Found a recipe on the internet? Eco-conscious and not wanting to print things out unnecessarily? Bring your laptop into the kitchen. Jam out on tunes on Pandora or Seeqpod while having the recipe and your friends at your fingertips.

Other rule: Wash your hands before touching your computer if you have internet in the kitchen. This way, your keyboard won't turn into a dinner roll and your touchpad won't be a hotbed of salmone. colococcus.
