I'm not telling the cost either. Mum's the word;) He'd never guess in a million years. All he knows is that I bought something that is really nice.:)

Thanks, Aussie, it is indeed a coffee machine, espresso to be exact.:)

Thanks, Jon. That's why I took that pix, and you thought I had forgotten.

Thanks, guys. It is important to get that kitchen just the way you want it, so much nicer that way.

CC, looks delicious and it reminds me that it has been ages since I did enchiladas. You certainly do have great colour on the casserole too.

Jeff, what a gorgeous cook and to think it was your first.

Thanks everyone, I am enjoying everything. Time to make breakfast and then sit out next to the KK and have a nice espresso.

Wow, ck, you surely had a fantastic taste weekend, right from start to finish everything looks very tasty.

Now that is a mouth watering burger, beautiful.:)

Oh my goodness, Tinyfish, that is a wonderful cook, I sure would like to sample it ALL. I need to do kabobs.:)

No action on mine yet although the eyes were started when I planed them.

They did that to me once when I deleted a whole bunch of motion detection camera pixs, came back after a day. It was a shock to me too but mine is for pleasure so not that important.

CK, that is really neat, thanks for posting and please do keep us posted on the progress. Guess what I'm going to do with my next pineapple.:)

Kitchen reno pixs - I didn't know where to post these so here we go What you see is just how my kitchen looks everyday, no staging. I like a small kitchen, no sitting around in my kitchen, down to business. Also like to have a lot of tools on the cupboard although they are not all there by any means. This is what started the renovations, the stove vent. Called the carpenter and asked if he would put one in for me. Carpenter says no problem. Once that was in, well let's switch the fridge and dishwasher, it will give me more counter. Carpenter says no problem. Well maybe I should put in a new counter top all the way around. OK, let's get granite. Well maybe we should tile between the counter top and cupboards. Carpenter says no problem. We have leftover tiles let's put them around the bathroom sink. Carpenter says no problem. I need some outlets on the deck can you give me three more please. Carpenter says no problem. There were a bunch of little jobs I also thought might as well get done. Carpenter says no problem. This is what started it all. The big switch. Let's make some in the wall storage, Carpenter says no problem. Some of the tool collection. More tools- A stained glass light that I made. It is over the kitchen sink. The view from the kitchen window. What I tell everyone that comes into my kitchen, my granite counter top even has a diamond in the rough. I then proudly show it off.:) Actually the pix doesn't show it off as well as in real life. The piece of quartz is quite sparkly and more clear than in the pix.

While the sausage was cooking on the lower grate of the KK I went out to get the first batch of spinach for dinner. WHAT it's all wilted! Got the hose out and water it, came back later and it had revived.:) No KK pixs cooked sausage down on the lower grill and then just when it was time to grab some pixs the phone rang and it was a call that needed to be taken. An hour later here is everything plated. The sausages were from Costco, Canadian made and no preservatives, called Jalapeno and Cheese. They are excellent and I'll buy them again. The interior-

I have a recipe for tomato galette that I make once the local tomatoes are ripe. It is delicious also. I'm going to copy your recipe and hope to make it soon, summer is always good for these as fruit is ripe and fresh. Thanks for posting the recipe, dstr8.

Finished off that breakfast pizza this morning right after seeing that the plants were watered and the critters fed. I have a new and unwelcome guest this morning- He is heading for underneath the wood shed. It had better not jump out and grab my feet. eek! Time to settle down and eat breakfast. and the really healthy part, a fruit smoothie.

What a gorgeous puppie whose name is....?

Tony, great write up and I found it very useful, thanks. BTW dinner looks soooooooo good.:)

Thanks, and the bonus is that beans freeze so well too. You can have them anytime.

Shuley, looks like a lovely meal and cooked perfectly too.:)

Get the rotisserie, it does a fabulous job.:)

dstr8, it must have been an absolutely fun day for you preparing such a scrumptious meal.

Didn't that just look delicious, bubbling away on the KK.
