Right before I got married, I lifted up a small prayer that I would make a good wife with meals on time, a clean house, and an ever-welcoming kitchen.
I knew at that time that my kitchen would be perfect. I love food, so why not have a perfect kitchen?! Always filled to brimming with hot savory dishes that make your heart melt and your mouth water by just one deep inhale through the nose. And that's where I woke up. I wanted a 4 burner and attatched griddle gas range cooktop. I'm stuck with a hotplate. I was in love with the thought of a pair of double stacked ovens perfectly suited to making sure that every dish was set at the table at just the right moment. I have a toaster oven.
Dont get me wrong, I have a real stove/oven combo, it's even a gas range! But...my house isnt plummed for gas in the kitchen, so my oven is sitting exactly where I want it with a piece of countertop laying across the burners, no food cooked on it thus far. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, the stove was free, I actually am starting to enjoy my hot plate, and sometimes I'm sure that my toaster oven is a dream come true, but I do miss having a real stove top so I can cook all the dishes at once, rather than cook them one at a time, and letting them take turns in the toaster oven to keep warm.
Tomorrow, or whenever I see a computer in the next few days, I will give you a tour of my kitchen, and show you how I prepare my meals for myself and my brand-new husband.
Tonights menu, Chicken Alfredo, fresh Itallian bread, and pressure cooked artichokes flavored with garlic. (This is my husbands first experience with artichokes, so wish me luck!)
