How's About Cookin' Somethin' Up With Me?

We have a kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!!  An awesome brand spankin' new custom kitchen!  Well, okay, it is still in progress, but I have a stovetop - oven got damaged during move - 'fridge, sink, microwave, and three custom built (by Ricky) cabinets up, and have been able to unpack pots and pans, knives, cutting boards, spices, and more!  Haven't had time to blog - been cookin!  In the last three days I've cooked fried bacon and eggs, spaghetti sauce and spaghetti, beef and vegetable soup, and chicken and dumplings!  Ricky cooked fried bacon, white breakfast gravy and eggs.  Even Little Ricky's getting in on the cooking making mac' n cheese!  Nothing beats home cookin'!  Yes!  Can't stay away from the stovetop!  We still have a ways to go before the kitchen is "complete", but hey, this is happening!  We have actually sat around a makeshift kitchen table and had meals together as a family again.  It has been too long!  Little Ricky even said that it was like we were a family again!  And we are spending SO much more time in the main house now that we have a kitchen!  We are also in the process of dehydrating 50 pounds of carrots this week and today I will begin blanching and freezing around 15 pounds of broccoli!  The kitchen has always been the hub of our home, so we're officially now well on our way to having a real home again!  

"Hey, hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin'?  How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?"
