Hello Hello, it’s been too long since my last post. LIFE. IS. CRAZY. BUSY! We’ve been working our way through the kitchen remodel, Dan’s daughter’s upcoming wedding, planting the garden, work travel and just normal everyday stuff.
The remodel is going pretty well, demolition is done, electrician is nearly done and we’re waiting to iron out a few things with the plumber. Next up inspections and sheetrock. Once the walls are back up cabinets and countertops should go pretty quickly so we’re excited and looking forward to cooking in the new kitchen.
In the mean time we’ve put together a make-shift kitchen in the bar downstairs and we’ve been using the grill, hotplate and microwave for our meal prep. A couple pictures of some of our cooking adventures are below; grilled salmon with onions and zucchini, veggie stirfry with vegetarian Field Roast sausages and our favorite - the giant salad.
We have eaten out a few times, although not as often as I thought we would and I’m happy about that. I also spent 3 days in Dallas for work, it was a nice construction break and I got to see my coworkers - new and old - who I haven’t seen for a couple years.
On the wedding front, I am sure it will be a beautiful day, regardless what Mother Nature decides to give us. Alona and Nate have planned a lovely ceremony, at a local park, with a large picnic shelter. Dresses are purchased, food is organized, flowers and cakes are ordered all that is left is the fun part.
I’ve been asked what is the first think I will make in my new kitchen - aside from a mess I’m thinking I’ll roast some seasonal vegetables, make some vegan cheese and a loaf of focaccia - I can taste it already. I’ve also been eyeing some vegan sausage recipes on Pinterest and of course by the time the kitchen is ready the garden will be in full swing.
We’re looking forward to getting back to normal and posting regularly on the blog again.
Thanks for stopping by.
