MacKenzie Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 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.

MacKenzie Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited June 26, 2016 by MacKenzie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks, Aussie, it is indeed a coffee machine, espresso to be exact.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinD Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 As others have said, what a great setup you've been able to create! The view out of the window is great but the two other things that caught my eye were: the storage for some of your spices and mortar and pestle & and your espresso machine. Much more to be admired as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
