What's up in the Kitchen?

Ok, Ok, so I haven't been cooking much... The kitchen is a construction zone!!
BUT - The painter has been hard at work, and it really starting to look great:


Not bad, eh? (Picture it with the black granite countertops we will be getting later this fall.. oo la la)

Dinners have been primarily take out - last night we had "antipasto night," which means I raided Whole Foods fabulous ready-made section, grabbing baby artichokes and roasted peppers from the Olive bar, some Ceasar salad from the salad bar, an asortment of little cheese wedges from the "try something new for under 3 bucks" section of the cheese counter, a tub of their fabulous garlic basil blast spread, and a fresh loaf of crusty bread, which we spread out in the living room (our table is full of all the things from the kitchen) and chowed down on... It isn't fancy, but it was hearty...

Still, I can't wait to have my kitchen operational again... Fall is starting to creep into the air, and I am excited for soups and stews and slow-cooker meals to come...
