You may recognize this kitchen
Ma and I have journeyed to Phoenix to get some furniture from Bubbe and Zade. They’re moving to a smaller place as soon as they sell this place and they need to get rid of some of their stuff if the’re going to fit it all in the new place. Anyone looking for a house in Phoenix? I love their house for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is this kitchen. Almost everyone’s kitchen sucks but sometimes you run across one like this that just makes you want one very badly. Some day…some day.
Prepared for the week
I have a hard time controlling myself during wine tastings. They’re just too tempting and tasty and easy to pick up. I mean, you’re already at the winery, it almost seems criminal not to get a bottle or two. Or seven. I’m back from the week in LA and looking forward to not doing a damn thing tonight except to open up the bottle of wine that’s chilling in the fridge and enjoy it thoroughly.
Dinner!
Yeah…I’m eating Mac and Cheese that expired 2 years ago. It’s Mac and Cheese, c’mon. What’s going to go bad? The cheese flavored dust?
Wallpaper is evil
Let us all take a moment and remember Nancy Reagan’s words and just say no to wallpaper. Sure it seems like a good idea at the time but at some point or another it’s going to have to come off and that is just no fun at all. After 7 hours of peeling a centimeter at a time we’re finally done and ready for painting tomorrow.
Merry Christmas Bubbe (and Zade, not pictured here)!
The sibs and I are visiting the grandparents this weekend. We decided that would make a good Christmas present for them. While we’re here they have some stuff they could use help with around the house. Moving furniture, putting up curtain rods, painting, computer repair and some pantry organization in which each task is uniquely suited to some of our talents. The chores are no big deal and it’s been a while since we’ve had a good visit so it’s win/win all the way around.
This is how to make coffee
In the classic “True Brew” Alton Brown fashion, I have put together my coffee system. I have to say, it’s pretty sweet. Not quite as convenient as a regular drip coffee pot but it tastes -so- much better.
High class tequila
John invited me over for some dinner and WordPress hacking tonight and as an incentive he let me try some of this amazing tequila. He’s blogged about it before but this is the first time I got to experience the amazing that is Chinaco Negro. Even better was trying it out of Disney shot glasses. That irony occurred to us at the time and we laughed about it but as I write this it dawns on me: why is Disney even selling shot glasses in the first place? Walt, poor Walt. Good thing he’s dead or this sort of thing would have killed him. Regardless, Chinaco tequila of any variety is very, very good but this stuff is exceptional.
