Food!

On Sunday, Heather made oatmeal for the boys. Oh; and bacon. In the oven. Ever cook bacon in the oven? Absolutely the best way to do it.

Sunday night, she got to make the first dinner meal in the new kitchen; lasagne. Yuuum.

Monday night after work, Heather was coming home late, so I got a chance in the kitchen. Pasta primavera. Yuuuuum. What a great kitchen. And magnetic induction is absolutely hands down the best cooktop system in the world. Ever leave a burner on accidentally? If this cooktop doesn't sense a ferrous iron pot on top of the burner, it shuts off automatically. And talk about quick response; wow. I've never ever had a gas stove, but this thing behaves the way I've always imagined a gas cooktop would, but I think this is even faster. And no fossil fuel! (Unless of course the electricity's coming from a coal-fired plant, which it's not. Seattle's old coal fired plant is now the Zymogenetics building on Lake Union; saw it fire up once on an extremely cold winter day in 1976, that's it.) So if you're going to remodel, go magnetic induction all the way.

Last item (besides the final lighting) that needs to be working in the kitchen is the range hood, or as Heather called it the other day - fume hood. From her days as a PhD chemist.

That's it for now; have a great day.
