A CHRISTMAS EVE POEM

photo source

I have been channeling William Carlos Williams today and have written an original poem dedicated to you, my faithful readers and followers.  Thank you for sticking with me through my kitchen renos...it seems like forever! In the New Year I envision a reinvigorated energy in my groovy new kitchen.   Join me again in January for more food porn and baked goodies.   I will unveil my finished kitchen photos in January!

I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Christmas Eve Poem
by Cakebrain from Cake On the Brain

so much depends
upon 
a lone butter
cookie
glazed with sweet
icing
beside the crisp
carrot.

KITCHEN RENO FOR CHRISTMAS

Lots of action on the reno today...my new Wolf range, new Sub-Zero fridge and my old Wolf convection Microwave and convection oven are in! I think I will christen the kitchen with a batch of cookies very soon. Fridge hookup and Ventahood hookup still need to be done so waiting on that...



Chris (left) and Peter (right) from Build Momentum (my cabinet gurus) helping Will McPhail (my contractor) from McPhail Renovations guide the Wolf Oven back into place.  

My sexy Wolf Range! love those red knobs!
Even wrapped up in packaging, the Sub-Zero looks good! Hopefully we'll be hooked up and running soon!

Kitchen reno Update

Not much going on right now with the reno...just waiting for the Franke sink to come in from Germany. The island box was recently installed.
Starting to really really miss baking...and we're eating takeout quite a bit! (though eating out is not really a big issue from the norm). I know this is the lull before the storm!

Deluxe Suika Box:  Suika’s Appetizer sampler box.

Yes, it was very good…and appetizing!  I had  to order the sampler because I love variety!  The portion sizes were not too bad...served in little sake cups in a lacquer box. It was a gorgeous presentation.
