My kitchen is functional

Sun, Jan 8, 2006

I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but after months of being without a functional kitchen our remodel is coming to a close. Our range, range hood and dishwasher are finally reconnected, as are most of our electrical outlets. What’s next?… a few cabinet pulls, some paint and a few other finishing touches. I have my first pot of red beans, in many months, on right now. Next weekend I will be doing lots of barbecuing!

Ya know, it occurs to me that we ought to explore possibilities for bbqing *gasp*… indoors. With a range hood, and a small electric grill… and some dry wood chips… *ponders* Maybe. I wonder.

Seeing the post about your kitchen got me thinking of this. Any ideas?

I know the feeling. Our kitchen was just returned to functionality last week. Can’t wait to hear about the Q

I tell you all that having this kitchen in working order has put a little pep in my step this week. I can “cook again, cook again” (as Toni Braxton would say)… it’s a wonderful feeling. There is a bit of landscaping that is scheduled to be done… then, the party.

Sappy, I am looking at getting one of those indoor smokers that you can you on your range top. I’ve seen Emeril use it once, and if it’s good enough for Emeril, It’s good enough for me…BAM!

Actually I have one. Mine is a Cameron brand. I got it about 6-7years ago. I loved it when I first got it, but somehow the top’s attachment to the base got screwed up and it doesn’t snap into place correctly which makes it less functional. It’s still good for chicken or fish pieces, but not for ribs or pork roasts.
