I shall send you all jealous making pictures of my new kitchen. Mwahahaha.

Also still at the cheese. None of the other parents are drinking. I do not want to be trashy mom. I don't actually know any of these parents.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Our home is counter-deprived too. Plus the counters are tiled and therefore useless as far as cooking surfaces go. Lame. We have yet to remodel the kitchen, but we did put in a large butcher block counter to make the intervening years easier.

Because books.

msbelle, you're moving! Eff 'em.

Crispy Crowns are excellent!

Also, a brand called Food Should Taste Good makes a multigrain tortilla chip that is delicious beyond words. I found them in Wegman's organic section.

I would so go ahead and order that beer msbelle. If there are any dads there, they will be grateful. Also joining you.

With our group of friends, even daytime parties include beer for the parents. IJS.

I want tater tots. I have cabbage soup.

They do have beer at Chuck E. Cheese, as my friend M. was complaining about a mom who was tipsy but worse, kept calling the place Chunk N Cheese.

I bought a freestanding island at home depot, and that's my real food prep space.

The short wall with the sink and tiny counter space is where all my cupbards are too. I have cobble together more storage with shelves and kitchen carts.

My new counters will be tile too Burrell, I think I will be getting a couple of plastic boards to make work areas when I need them.

That's what we did in the house I grew up in. Freestanding dishwasher (on wheels) with a butcher block on top.

I have a double sink so I have a large cutting board that sits over top of one sink and is the most used counter space in my home. I just used it for bread kneading, as a matter of fact.

I am going to miss my pull out cutting board. I am not even sure where my other cutting boards are. I guess that is something to look for when packing.

My apartment kitchen sucks for counter space, and is, in fact, the dreaded oak.

I actually do most of my prep at the table. I guess I am used to it, because we didn't reelly have counter space growing up (or cabinets, actually)
