Got the new PC up and running...has a whizzy printer/scanner/photo thingy so my mission this afternoon is to figure out how to post pictures...then I shall run around the house taking photo's of the good bits for all you have asked to see.
You won't be seeing the towel rail that fell of the wall or the misc scatter of tools across the shelves downstairs...but maybe if you are good then I'll show you the tower of appliances including the infamous pizza oven.
M kept raving about this whilst we were in the UK. Seems that his parents gave this to him when he was in college, long before the days of picking them up for a tenner at Walmart and it was a genuine 'behind the bar' industrial job. He's had it in storage all this time, and was eagerly awaiting the day he could drag it out.
Well its here and it's the size of an old hard drive. Its not that ugly (gen-u-ine stainless steel)but our kitchen is not big, galley in a very small ship kinda thing. So where do we put this monster, and the microwave and the knife block and everything else you need to have in a kitchen. Our solution is to buy a wine fridge!
Without sounding like fish (yeah right...shut up Dave), in our little family wine is often the solution to many difficult design challenges, well at least pausing to have a drinkypoo puts the problem to one side sort of solution.
Anyway, this makes more sense than you think, solves the wine cellar problem, makes the house look more funky modern, and provides an extension of the benchtop to put the microwave on...which is a perfect place to put the pizza oven. Dadaaah!
So now we have the tower of appliances. And while it's true that the pizza oven is the perfect thing for cooking pizza, and more than 2 muffins at a time, it's gonna go when we start showing the house. I haven't put all those hours in watching 'selling houses' programmes where people with no idea of selling are slagged mercilessly, no sirree, all those hours on the couch are not in vain.
Pizza oven out, glamorous wine fridge in the spotlight.
and besides...people might think we only ate pizza!
This blog is brought to you by our lovely new PC and classic FM, a UK classical station I can finally hear again over the internet...what will they think of next?
