demolition

I had peonies as my wedding flower.....They reminded me of my grandma. The air in Grandma's yard carried the aroma of peonies as soon as you walked through the arch. She is not with us anymore. Although she is always with me in spirit....She was wonder woman! She would do everything that a home required ,in fact, she was still painting the kitchen chairs at 80?

Today I did her proud. Charlotte was home with me all day but slept through the mass destruction that was going on in the kitchen! While she slept I helped demolish our kitchen. The best outlet for any frustration you may experience! We discovered that our kitchen had never been insulated...crazy hey! No wonder it is the coldest room on the house!! It felt great for my A type personality to just chip out gyp-rock and yank out boards...of course to reveal the a clean slate! yayayyay. Cooked supper in my make shift kitchen that is set up in our dining room with no oven or stovetop ore sink! So I have had to get creative! Last night we had steak and corn on the cob(BBQ) & potatoes (zapped in the microwave).

Today's menu consisted of

BREAKFAST

~yogurt and a pop-tart!! mmmmm

LUNCH

~ left over potatoes, steak and corn cut off the cob.

DINNER

~the last bit of steak and corn....sweet potato fries(well oiled cookie sheet on the med BBQ) served with a vanilla/mustard yogurt dip (just may replace honey mustard for this girl!) super quick to make:1/2 cup vanilla yogurt and 1 tbsp mustard or to taste! The fusion of the flavours is one of the "weirdest food combos"...

There are hardly any dishes so clean up and put away will be a snap....
