"Then why don't you eat something?" she asked.
"It's no use," said the Tiger sadly. "I've tried that, but I always get hungry again."

Federalize your appliances

Theresa Nielsen Hayden wants a souped-up kitchen. I especially like her idea of a powerful centralized motor for all your culinary motorizing needs: "How many electric motors are there in my powered kitchen appliances?" she asks, sensibly. "Many. One each. And the cheap ones invariably underperform and burn out, while the sturdier ones cost a mint. I want a single really good electric motor or compressed-air system, perhaps mounted underneath a kitchen counter with its attachment points located up top."

Check out the comments, where her intrepid readers discuss the feasibility (and historical precedents) of doing that very thing. (Someone also begs to differ with the notion that a Kitchen Aid is too big, heavy, and awkward to put away and take out all the time. He must be stronger than me and have a lot more cupboard space.)
