Counter tops are in!

 

Pictures update

Cant tell, but they have been working for several days now…




Cabinet faces are going on as I type and I will post more soon.

 

Kitchen Demolition- before and during pictures

So when we moved into this new house, one of the things that needed some serious work was the kitchen. Here are some “before” pictures to give you an idea of what we are talking about. The cabinets are not standard size, they actually look like someone made them- but not in a good way. The stove was scary cause you go to lite it and it takes about 10 seconds for the gas to “catch”. And the tile counter tops with the wheat accents speak for them selves.





Well they came and started ripping out cabinet fronts and tearing up the counter top today

Check back to see the transformation!

 

Home-made Bread

Ok so I’m sure it seems like an easy feat that many of you do every day….

But I just made the most wonderful loaves of bread.  Sounds easy to do to you flat-landers at or just above sea level, but at 10,000 feet in altitude it is MUCH harder than it sounds.  Last year for Christmas I bought myself a wonderful book by Susan G Purdy titled “Pie in the Sky- Successful baking at High Altitude”.  The book has over 100 different recipes kitchen tested at sea level, 3500, 5000,  7000 and 10,000 feet in altitude and has variations to follow at each level.  I made a few recipes last year but did not have a good stand mixer to make many of the bread recipes.

Well that all changed this year when Al got me a Kitchen-Aide professional series stand mixer for Christmas.  I have been baking non-stop and just made two loaves of Boulders Best White Bread from the book.
