A fully functional kitchen plus a couple of rainy, miserable days equals KITCHEN PARTY! I spent yesterday making granola – hippie me – baking cookies, chopping fruit and veggies, and making hummous that would make you cry tears of joy. Well, it made ME cry tears of joy. I was skeptical – who puts yogurt […]
First Step (Ask Her Out and Treat Her Like A Lady)
May 23, 2012 by
The first step in the kitchen renovation is done! Does anyone else immediately get Step By Step by Eddie Rabbit stuck in their head after saying the words “first step”? Or is it just me?
