Some Kitchen Pictures and Tales

Since my last post I have done a bit more to my kitchen. I went the budget route and decided to just get the countertop from Menards. I think it turned out ok.

Here is what it looks like now...

You might notice in the background on of my many closets that I have had to buy since my house doesn't have any worth a darn. I am really looking forward to getting to work on my upstairs where I can design a nice walk-in closet for my master bedroom.

I should point out my new cooking appliances that I bought for myself right after Christmas. One of my parent's exchange students that they hosted a few years ago is from Iraq and she was given political asylum here. She now has a part time job at Linens and Things so she hooked me up with the employee discount plus the Kitchaide Mixer was the display model so I got a $400 mixer for about $150. Not too shabby. Now I just need a girl who knows her role is in the kitchen to cook me dinner (just kidding ladies...you are also around to clean house, do the laundry and make babies......really I am just joking you are also around to forgive us guys when we joke about by making such sexist remarks!!!)

In addition to the mixer, I also got the waffle maker and crock pot shown above and a food processer that is not shown. Again, ten years ago I never would have believed you if you would tell me that I would be excited about buying cooking appliances.
