    My kitchen remodel beginning (okay, no functioning kitchen right now, short term pain for long term gain!)

    All-organic avocado panini from The Downtown Farm Stand

    A few sunny days

    An invitation to a dinner party (on 2/14, no less)

    20% off coupon from Barnes and Noble (so I need to order a cookbook as a “kitchen warming” present for myself)

      Good luck with the remodel, Petra. One of my go-to cookbooks these days is Dorie Greenspan’s Around My French Table. Keep us posted, and feel free to vent.
