Last week the oven liner we ordered arrived. We used it to line our clean, but still gross, oven drawer so we could store our nice pots and pans in there. It took a couple of the liners, but now we feel good about storing our stuff down there. There’s no pictures, because that would be boring. But here is a picture of the burner covers which arrived on Friday. That gives us a little more flat space to work on in the kitchen.
We finally cooked in the kitchen last night. I was afraid to use the oven without the oven liner (we had it lined with plastic bubble wrap until the liner arrived – I didn’t want to cook with that in there). We actually only used the stove top, but that in and of itself proves I put the burner coils back in right, I guess, when I replaced the drip pans. And the burner covers were a godsend for having more space to work. The second picture is supposed to be proof of last night’s stove top usage for sauteing onions and browning potatoes, carrots, garlic cloves and such. (We’re having a red wine roast tonight.) I know some don’t think I cook. And maybe the slow cooker doesn’t count. You can decide for yourself. BUT the second picture does allow me to point out Becky’s Venetian glass wine stopper she gave us, in use, and Thadd’s lovely house warming gift of champagne and champagne glasses on the pass through. (Just ignore the dirty dishes in the sink and the messy bedroom in view.)
Still on the list of things to do: eradicate rat poison from under fridge, clean the fridge, organize food shelves (right now things are thrown in), get a spice rack and recaulk the counter.
Yay! I am glad that the stopper is in use. I bought myself one and it is in use right now too!!
Love you!
