Well, let's see. My kitchen at home is kind of piece meal, being converted
from the former kitchen and part of the garage. We do have twenty linear
feet of shelves for cookbooks which, unfortunately, is not enough. The color
scheme is white and gray. More soon.

Very small kitchen just fits the five of us. I pull the table in and out to seat the children. Only have room for a 18inch dishwasher,{would not be without it} very little counterspace of which my very large micro,toasteroven, food processor, stove in between takes up. One good thing I don't have to spend hours mopping the floor. It was very nice to hear from you Stephanie.

The kitchen in the new abode is pretty durn tiny. Copper tile on the walls and copper knobs. Hmmm... goes real well with all my stainless steel.

1930s Art Deco, hacienda style home with arched walkways, hardwood floors and
HUGE windows. Actually the kitchen is pretty much the low point -- functional
but not luxurious. We do have a kitchen in the basement as well -- formerly
used for canning! Odd setup but lots of character!

That's cool, a kitchen in the basement. That's cool that you have a
basement at all, almost unheard of around Austin. Are there a lot of
basements in your new neck of the woods?

yup.
The majority of the homes have basements. And DYK, basements Do NOT count in the square footage of a home! So our minimal sounding 1600 sf is really twoce the size when you count the basement room!

Best place I could think to post this...
outside my kitchen window... I see snow!
Yep, big, fat, fluffy wet flakes of sheer delight! Snow on my pumpkins that will hopefully turn into jack o lanterns tonight.
Then I'll have plenty of pumpkin guts to start cooking with!!
Gotta love roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin bread, pumpkin spice cake, baked pumpkin with butter and brown sugar...

Shit... was I wrong. We got twenty-three inches of snow in under 36 hours. The blizzard of 1997 according to the powers that be. Completely snowed in on Saturday, so we split a case of beer with the neighbor and then went sledding! My kitchen is the warmest place in the house... after I roasted the pumpkin seeds (and we ate them all) I made cookies, I made pasta and I made a mess. The oven really warmed up the house though.

My kitchen is the size of a submarine galley, no kidding. I can open the fridge, oven, and dishwasher without taking a step. And by the way, basement kitchens are not real uncommon here in the East--they're usually for keeping kosher.

We must have the same floor plan! My dishwasher & fridge can't be opened simultaneously either, and my fridge is even a side-by-side.

You do have a small kitchen, Autumn!!!
OK, mine is in the works of refacing and really looks like crap. Bob Vila would
have a field day embarrassing me on tv. It's a galley, just twist around and
you're either at the stove or sink. No counterspace. Can't open the fridge and
dishwasher. Can't open the fridge and expect to get out of the kitchen either!
The side with the stove has a new countertop (plus the new stove), new
wallpaper, but old cabinets. Other side has painted cabinets (which have to be
redone) and the old one piece glue down up the wall wood veneer counter-
top/backsplash. No wallpaper there. Oh, and my new kitchen sink has been
sitting in my bedroom for 3 years!! No basements here in Louisiana. You'd have
to fight the alligators for the bogs!!

Bern is my hometown. I learned how to build loos and kitchens there.

Maybe tomorrow I'll go back there and bring along a longhorn steer.
I'm quite the vagabond, y'know, but would that be a bum steer?

I shouldn't have said that.
Because there was a second hometown I had.
Tsumeb.
I'll give ya the big lowdown on it, if you have time.
See, okay, this is different, but I'm just so used to it cuz it happened to me.
My parents were arms smugglers.
They sold prostheses on the black market for an artificial limb company.
And well, not that I wanted this or had any say in the matter, but mom & dad
would go back and forth between Bern and Tsumeb just all the time.
From the age of like 0 to 13, I probably didn't stay in either city for more
than 3 weeks at a time, going back & forth, back & forth, back & forth,
back & forth, back & forth, back & forth, you get the idea.
It happened a lot.
I really want, Riette, for you to see Namibia some day.
You'd fall in love with it, especially out in the country.
My parents would let me roam by myself for days in Etosha National Park.
That sure beat Bern all to hell.
I wish we could talk sometime.

And anyway, I'm not sure I'd like Namibia at all. It sounds like the arse of the world . . . is it a town somewhere in Texas? What does it look like there? Come, lure me your way . . .

did a "dream kitchen" topic ever come up anywhere? my kitchen is a big space that is not utilized properly. anyway, it opens to the family room with a half wall, the floor and countertops are baby blue (euw!-all my uncarpeted floors are the same baby blue tile) the cabinets are laminate in blonde wood with white facings. no hardware on the drawers or cabinets. it does have 2 lovely windows that show my backyard, unfortunately, my kitchen sink is adjacent to those windows so all i get to look at is a blank wall. the stove is opposite the windows with the fridge off to the left and it's not even hooked up to a water line so ice comes the old fashioned way) i love my kitchen table though--it's countertop height so it's perfect for my bad back. i don't have a formal living room (it's supposed to be part of my living room but there's not enough room)......i guess maybe the family room was supposed to be the dining room but it is too big. now, terry, where's that dream kitchen?
