Kitchen Launch

The plumber returned on Monday and hooked up the refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and sink. Now we have a fully functioning kitchen! Sami tried everything out by preparing last night's dinner in the beautiful space, using all of the new appliances. It feels like a real luxury to have burners, water, and cold ingredients all within a few steps of each other.

Water leaks around the faucet, chipped Formica, holes worn through the floor... just a distant memory.
We have moved from an all electric range to one with gas burners and a convection oven, even a griddle/grill, plus a computer-operated control system.
Most fun was making a rhubarb pie that was evenly cooked and browned.

We will not actually move into the kitchen and start using it regularly until we are done with the plaster work on the main floor, which will be extensive and a big mess, because we will insulate the living room walls. But it was fun to give everything in the kitchen a test drive. Sami has some learning to do, especially regarding the new range, but the lessons will be fun. Can't wait!
