When in our homes, I think it would be lovely if we didn't have to pick up everything we need when we are cooking / tinkering / potion-making etc. For instance, when making awesome stew - as long as cabbage, onions, meat etc are somewhere in my house and I'm at home, the awesome pot menu has them available to cook with without me having to gather them from cabinets and SDBs etc to have them in my inventory.
