Kitchen Nightmares and no Gordon Ramsey in sight

We're just a about to hit the 10th anniversary living in our home. We moved in here in May 2007 maybe. When we moved in, I told the husband that it was perfect and we could have our first child here.

Well we've now had our second and I'm rethinking my idea of perfect. Partially because we have just completed day 1 of the Great Kitchen Makeover.

I'm going from having a teeny tiny cupboard suitable for a couple that lived on take out to a giant corner step in pantry designed for mostly clean living mom of a kid with allergies. Make no mistake, there is great joy and much dancing about the new available space. But if you listen closely; there is an occasional wail of absolute despair because I do not have a stove for the next week.

Yes it's true that my extensive list of appliances can see us through the week but there's something about being able to stand at the stove and stir rice endlessly (rissoto obviously) while pondering the effort of being a pinterest mom.

Planning is going to be a little bit more of an effort this week. But man I can't wait to fill that cupboard.
