Thanks for pointing out the outlet over the cabinets (over the corner cabinet in my case). I wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't pointer it out.

This raises another question though -- which switch controls this outlet? I just checked, and both of the sockets in this outlet are powered off!
If your home is the same as mine — next to the laundry room door is a double switch. One for the can lights above the rear kitchen counter, and the other for the outlet above the cabinets. When I had under cabinet lights installed, the electrician used that switch to also control the new under cabinet lights.
