Fairly productive
Aug. 31st, 2008 08:01 pmSince it's been pretty gloomy all day, with only a brief downpour, turned my attentions to baking. Now complete are:
- 4 meatloafs (one already eaten for dinner with tabouli, one given to neighbor Pat)
- 4 zucchini bread loaves (just fresh out of the oven!)
We made a trip to Lowes to check out pendant lighting and more gas stoves. When I grew up, a gas stove simply was a device to cook food. They aren't anymore with all the "dual fuel," "convection," and all the computerized bells and whistles.
After two days of shopping around, this is more or less what we're going to get. Of course after the $1,500 in the contractor's contract to run gas lines to the kitchen. Ack. With this and the convection microwave over the stove model we're getting, that'll replace our 21 year old electric cooktop (badly placed) and aging double oven. So guppy of us.
Glad I don't live on the Louisiana coast. Always glad of that.
Danny's downstairs putting his portion of the office together. Step one in turning that upstairs room into a ginormous walk-in closet.
