What's for Dinner?

Tonight I did something I have not done since the end of May last year;  I cooked dinner at our house.

I got the recipe for Pan-Grilled Halibut with Chimichurri from Cooking Light.  I have a stack of Cooking Light magazines I collected while the kitchen was under construction and I cannot wait to try all the recipes out!

Today the plumber installed the range.

Last weekend Britton and I installed the refrigerator.  It was quite a task.

I love the French doors and the freezer drawer.

Would you believe that the bottom was bolted  to the wood platform?  We had to turn the refrigerator over on its back to unscrew the bolts.  The instructions clearly said to do this, but we pulled and pulled on the platform and it would not budge before reading the instructions.

This is the kitchen with the refrigerator installed from Angie's point of view.

A similar view as this picture taken back in July by my Britton's sister Ashley. 

Kitchen Cabinets Installed

When I came home from catching up with my college girlfriends over Labor Day weekend in Cape Cod, Britton had installed the kitchen cabinets! Not only was I surprised by the kitchen, but he had also left flowers all over the house for me. I have the best husband!

Kitchen Update

We continue to work on the kitchen although a busy fall schedule has not allowed the fast results I would have wished for. These pictures are from October. After much painting the countertops were ready to be installed. We debated over plastic laminate, butcher block, and granite. We settled on honed absolute black granite. I love seeing the progress, even if it is slow!
