So Close To a Kitchen.
“What are you doing???”
He’d sprung me standing in the new part of the house, alone, in the semi darkness, staring at our almost finished kitchen.
“I’m just imagining… ”
We are so close to having a finished kitchen…It may not look it from the photos but we are so very close.
We are just waiting on the extender bit for the range hood (damn our high ceilings) and the bench tops to arrive so we can install them and the sink and we’re done.
We are so tantalizingly close to done that I can’t help it. I can’t help but stop as I walk past and stare, and dream, and imagine…
Imagine what I can cook with a stove top that actually has some temperature control…
Imagine the kids sitting on the other side of my island bench chatting as they help me cook…
Imagine what I can bake in two full sized ovens…
Imagine looking out across the dining area and out into the backyard while I was the dishes…
Imagine having a kitchen with running water again…
I try not to, because the imagining makes the waiting just that little bit harder, but every now and then I indulge and just stand there and dream.
Hopefully soon I’ll be able to reveal our final kitchen design and let you know if we chose design 1 or design 2 or something completely different, until then here are some things I am dieing to cook once I have a kitchen again…
Lasagna Roll-ups
Pizza Pockets
Whole Wheat Pita Breads
Turkish Gozleme
Pineapple Apple Slice
Cornies
Lemon Scented Pull Apart Coffee Cake

What should be the first thing I cook when our kitchen is done??

A cup of tea and some scones – so you can sit back and enjoy it!
