Marlene's Kitchen Renovation

Recommended Posts

And I get teased for using my P-Touch to label my canisters...I love it Marlene, it is just beautiful.  I'm looking forward to redoing our kitchen to, hopefully it will be in this decade!

My P-Touch is my best friend in my kitchen :smile:

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.

I agree that lots of outlets are important. I had two placed on either end of the vent hood over the cooktop especially for the stick blenders I use at the cooktop.

This is so handy and much safer than having the cord draped over other pots or hot burners.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

My first real entertaining in the new house. As in pull out all the stops and cook like mad. Sometimes the Kitchen Gods are just there and tonight was such a night.

My butcher excelled himself when he cut me this roast. A five bone prime rib roast, 12 lbs:

This roast cried out for a horseradish sauce:

Dessert. My girlfriend loves to cook. This is a banana raisin bread pudding with a caramel sauce:

We have a tradition with these friends. They were the first people to welcome us to our new homeon our old block with a bottle of amarone. Today they welcomed us to our new home with this.
