jicaji, Aww thanks about not condensing my posts.
As you see below I did not condense.
Thanks also about the kitchen reno.
You mention "when" you were able to take Rizzo for walks. Has the knee shot helped at all yet?
LB, You sounded reeealy cold this morning! Agreed you need a warm hat and get ear muffs too. Good that you have off tomorrow. Thanks about reno and okay will try to remember to take pictures.
Birds here were all puffed out keeping warm today too. Lot's of new ones showed up at the feeders too.
Well trying to cook meals during a kitchen reno is not easy but can be done!! When I packed the kitchen I put all dishes, glasses, utensils etc on bed in a spare bedroom Then boxed all the stuff in all the cabinets in individual boxes and lined them up in bedroom. We put a long 10 foot table in bedroom so it's full all across the top and boxes under table.
Well we decided to make a double batch of spaghetti and meatballs today. Oh my gosh that was tricky without countertops and a kitchen sink! Then remembering where the different utensils were put. We kept going back and forth to bedroom then also to bathroom where I put a plastic bin in the bathtub to wash pots utensils dishes etc. Then I remembered I'd have to use strainer for double batch of noodles. lol
Umm the bathroom sink did the job. We got everything made and into containers and I washed the huge pots etc in the tub drying them as I went along and putting back into their place in bedroom. After I got everything washed and dried I then cleaned the sink and tub and faucets and countertops etc. That bathroom sure is clean! And my lower back and knees are feeling it! I might not be cooking as many meals as I thought and just order take out.
We did cook some things last week too to freeze during reno so we should be good for this week. Reno estimate 3 weeks maybe 4 but the reno guys accomplished a lot yesterday so maybe it won't take so long. It depends on delivery of flooring, appliances, cabinets and backsplash too. Time will tell. Anyway, that's today's story about cooking in a kitchen with just a stove in it. Hahahaha I thought it would be a good idea but not soooo much extra work entailed. One day at a time.
It began snowing here at 4pm and is to snow till 10pm with one inch an hour at times. Then sleet then rain. Maybe 6 inches. Weatherman said when done it's going to be a slushy mess. Sounds like it!
Reno guy texted me today they'd like to come tomorrow but he'll see what the roads are like tomorrow morning.
In any event my husband and I are staying inside and have plenty to eat!
Oops forgot the quotes. #1 but all three are very good.
