Hi Carol,

 CS>   By: Ruth Haffly to Dave Drum on Tue Apr 16 2024 01:08 pm

 CS> On Olive Garden, grin, it's my speed!  Yes, I still can't cook
 CS> Italian.  I can get close but always the meal is a bit 'tweaked'
 CS> someplace.  If nothing else, the side will be.

I know, we each have our own areas of cooking that we do better in than
others. For chain Italian, we prefer Carraba's but there aren't any
local ones. For non chain Italian, we've got a few good ones in the
area, plus my home made. (G)


 CS> Ah well, my stir fry isn't Asian either, might be closer to Greek?  Ah
 CS> well. It's good and that's what matters.

That's all that matters. Years ago I said that I do mock Chinese--throw
everything in a wok and stir fry it. Michael wrote back and said that
it's the real thing as he does it himself. I still do that from time to
time.


 CS> Lets see, if I won a million, I'd edit my existing kitchen by
 CS> extending it out to the porch area, moving the paio sliding door back.

For this house I'd expand the whole back wall so I could have a larger
sewing room and Steve, a larger computer room/ham radio shack/library in
addition to the larger kitchen. I'd try to incorporate a space for the
washer and dryer, turn that space into a linen and broom closet. I'd
also do a bigger deck/patio area.


 CS>  Custom cabinets of cedar.   Lots of pots-n-pans storage.  Maybe some
 CS> good curtians.

I'd make curtains but yes, more (and better cabinetry. We have a hanging
rack for pots and pans which is a big help as I don't need to devote
cabinet space to them. We have more storage than we did in the rental
house, but not a lot more. Nice to dream but..........we're debating a
possible move out west in the future, don't know if that will actually
come about tho.
