Re: (...)
Okay, my kitchen in finally done. Well, there's a few finishing touches in the works, but we are back in business.
Here is a photo of the completed project for anyone interested. It's been 3 months in the works, but I think it's all been worth it.

Oh my Laura! It is beautiful! What a wonderful job!
So, what was the first thing you made?
Welcome back! We have missed you.

Honestly, the first thing I made was a can of Campbell's soup for the kids. Funny huh? But I don't really count that as 'cooking' it's more like 'reheating' right?
So my first 'real' meal was a braised chicken with asparagus tips. It doesn't sound exciting, but it was really good. I was able to chop and sear and make a roux. The house smelled of lovely 'chicken in a pot' kind of food.
I did make a breakfast on the grill. That was fun, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, etc.
I just found all my pots and pans on Sunday. They had been packed away for some time and we just couldn't locate the box. Now I am set for fall cooking! Bring it on!

Oh.my.gosh! Stunning, absolutely stunning! I'd definitely say it was worth the wait though I'm sure those three months seemed like an eternity.
Love your red Le Creuset.

Oh my word Laura! It is stunning! Did you move a cot in there so you could stroke your new "stuff" whilst you dreamt of cooking? I think that is almost exactly the stove we cooked on in the restaurant in Colorado several years ago. It is breath-taking!
I am going to save that picture so I can drool.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

OMG, it's gorgeous! You did a fabulous job on it! I don't think I'll be posting any pics of mine .
You know, it doesn't matter what you cook in it, canned soup is cool, it's how you feel when you're in there!
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.
