I cooked tonight!!! It was a little after 8 pm after Ryan finished setting up the gas for the cooktop. I never thought I would enjoy cutting cold chicken as much as I did. The food wasn't that great, the chicken was a little dry and I didn't have a key ingredient to make teriyaki, namely teriyaki sauce but I COOKED IT IN MY OWN KITCHEN so it was DELICIOUS!!! Not a culinary masterpiece but I don't really care.
Isn't it so pretty? Now we just have finishing touches left, like touch up paint, quarter round, molding around the doors and window. Then it will be done, done, done!
Last night I washed dishes in the sink for the first time. The first thing I did with my freshly washed cute little glass that was passed down from my grandma Mae was pour myself a celebratory drink of my favorite, Bailey's Irish Cream. That was a nice way to celebrate my marginal role in the development of the kitchen. That is not to detract from my role in destroying the original kitchen. I can swing a mean sledge hammer but I'm not so skilled with the plumbing and electrical work.
I hung some pots and pans from the pot rack tonight. I think it makes the kitchen look smaller and a little cluttered so I'm not sure if they are going to stay up there. We can always hang cute utensils up there instead.
