That's an interesting idea.  I kinda like having a full kitchen, but
you're right, it is an investment that won't always pay out as much as
we'd like given our space limit.

Also, some have talked about food hacking (Marc iirc?).  And having a
real sink and dishwasher is pretty important to me.

I think we should try to reclaim as much space from the kitchen as
possible by rearranging things and see where we can get from there.  In
any case, a significant proposal like this should go on the agenda for
next week's Tuesday meeting.
