Kitchens and buckling down!

I had a wonderful weekend.  We were out this weekend looking for a new home.  We got married in July after dating for almost three years and it was an amazing celebration.  That topic alone deserves its own blog entry, oh the food we ate.  But back to the point.   Now that we are married, we have decided to look to purchase our first home together.  We are currently living in our condo but it is rapidly getting too small for the two of us.  So we have been out house hunting.  Honestly pretty much the only thing I look at are the kitchens.  And I have seen some of the best and the worst.  I saw my dream kitchen, beautiful counters, high end appliances but also well laid out with a cook in mind. Not those kitchens with little counter space or one where they put the cabinets too close to the sink or over the sink so you are always in fear of bumping your head.  And even the houses we have seen with kitchens I don’t like, I am always imagining what kitchen we could have installed.  If only we had endless money and endless time to renovate.  We haven’t found anything yet but I am hopeful we find our dream home.  Will keep you posted, particularly on the kitchen hahaha 

I have set myself some goals.  Starting tonight, I have committed to myself that I will write out five of my recipes each night, every weeknight.  If I don’t set myself some goals, the job seems too overwhelming so I am going to start with five each night and get myself started.  Part of my trouble seems to be where to start. I have so many recipes I want to share that I almost can’t decide where to start so I am simply starting.  With five. And then five and five and five.  I can pick and choose the best later.  Or better yet, have you choose the best hahaha see that’s called delegation!  My goal is to have fifty recipes written down at least in draft before we leave on our honeymoon on October 17.  That way I can start testing them again and making some adjustments before choosing them for the cookbook.  There is going to a lot of writing and cooking coming up!
