KITCHEN done but for the tile

I really like some features more than others
Under cupboard lighting
Lower drawers
Hand blown deli lights,DD loves e-bay
They lowered the microwave.

I had an egg this AM
No more high carb cereal breakfasts for me.

The sink area that looks over the Long garden

The deli lights.Should have turned them on but Duhhh.

The microwave was installed in a "stock cabinate".
DD chose this to keep price down.
It was too high for an average height person.
A six footer could manage it but we are average the door, when opened came to my arm pit.
Dangerous to reach across the door to retrieve hot food.
My recomendation is either buy a Micro with side opening door or pay the extra to have the cabinate cuatomized, it's what we had to do in the long run.

This is a nice nieche probably will be full o' krapp in a few days.

The island and baking center,we had electric installed so we wouldnt trip over mixer cord strung across the counter.

What tile are you refering to?

T here will be tile above the counter tops in the sink and cook-top area.

A backsplash...

yep

Very nice Jo Ann! I bet your happy to have that done!

I bet your are relieved at the progress. thanks for the tour.

Thanks everyone
Its been annoying for two months.
We keep cleaning surfaces and DD doesnt want ANYTHING left on the counters.
I wonder how long that will last

You had eggs for breakfast! Now you made me hungry - for a new kitchen :-)

Very nice!

thanks

Awesome! Makes me wanna come over and start cooking!!!

Your welcome anytime just leave the sugar out of it.
LOL

I'll bring the honey ..... is that allowed?

^_^

What's her name?

Winnie

LOL LOL
Perhaps a small bite.

I knew that one was coming!! Didn't expect it so fast, though!

Thanks for not disappointing, Victor!! LOLolol

Maybe I better not think about desserts!

I have been craving biscuits and gravy, lately!

Your posts of what you cooked over the holidays were fantastic.
And lets not leave out presentation.

Thanks, Jo Ann!

I have a true passion for making food I don't know who to blame on, my guess is grandmom.

Mom specialized in making carbon-based foods!

^_^

he he he
I was a pretty good cook until the diabetes.
Then I had to be a clever cook in order to keep carbs. at a minimum.

I would love it if you would post some of your favorite recipes .....

I am at a loss what to make for my neighbor .....

I like to take things over to those neighbors who are true "neighbors."

Looks great! congrats

Willie - please consider a separate thread for your favorite recipes. I've been the weeknight cook for a couple of years now but still consider myself a newbie. I am always looking for fast, easy and healthy recipes. I'm a big fan of the '30 minute meal'!!

I thought about a NE Forum's Favorites!

Wasn't sure if that should be placed in the recipes forum.

Then, I thought, if it was in the recipes forum, it would get lost to the NE people.

Do you think NE forum folk would join in on one and add their favorites?

I dont see why not Willi.

I've got a number if recipes I can contribute. Cooking is my true passion, especially Italian cuisine.

Greg

My passion is eating Italian cuisine!

ge, in the first picture is that an independant center piece used for preparing foods? I've always wanted a ktchen with one of those.

Greg

If I would've read all the posts first I'd have had the answer to my question...DUH!

Its an island with electrical out let. Big cupboards on the side facing the cooktop.
We store the deep pots there,also the bread machine and Kitchenaide mixer.
the long sides have an open lower space for pie plates and cooking casseroles, baking tins ,bread pand, mixing bowles.
Two drawers on the side of the dishwasher for baking small stuff like beaters, masurib=ng cups and spoons and towels.
It was a great space when we bought the house 2 yrs ago but over time we wanted electric to it.
I forgot to ad a all over the kitchen feature I also like"self closing drawers" what a world.

victor, the next time I make my lasagne, italian green beans and garlic/cheese french bread I'l make sure you're invited :)

Greg

I'll be there, Greg!

Greg - be careful ! You will have the whole NE forum at your house :-)

Jo Ann it looks great!

will NOT be sharing this with my wife - she's been after me to replace the sink and the faucet has been leaking for 2 years when the hot water is turned on. i told here it would be better to replace the cabinets and counters to hold her off

too busy with gardening :)
