The Rebuilt Kitchen Is Progressing Well And We Can’t Wait To Be Allowed To Use It
Autumn appears to be fighting to get moving. Perhaps summer has decided that it was a bit unkind to us towards the end of its turn and has come back to make up for it, or it could be it was miffed and just felt that autumn was going too far with the conditions at the Ryder Cup last week and has come to give us one final blast. Out with the barbeque say I!
And for our household it's very welcome as just now we are making do in our own house as the strong men are even now building our new kitchen which means that we don't have hob, oven or sink. Currently, the kitchen stuff is in the dining room with all the items we think we won't need buried in the far corner with the stuff we either surely will and could need closer the front. Out on the patio, ready to be pressed into use if required is the gas barbeque. And if the weather stays good through to around 5 o'clock, I may well press it into employment since for the last three evenings we've been making supper with the microwave as the only option.
We could well have a barbeque on Saturday night anyway, the fantastic cooker has now been delivered but the guy coming to fit it won't be here until Saturday afternoon anyhow and because there is no surety that the cooker will be working, it isn't worth deciding anything other than mixing up some burgers and getting the kebabs in. We would make our own sausages except for two reasons: one, we have not muckes about with the sausage maker yet and 2, we have not got the ingredients or sufficient cleaning apparatus to be able to do it.
It was quite a job extracting the gas barbeque from the garage last weekend as we were creating space for the kitchen boxes to go when they were delivered and so it was convenient to get the big fella out of the way. We could have used the charcoal barbeque but the problem there is that we do not have any charcoal briquettes. And even if we did, I could not be bothered with lots going on anyway, to have to tidy up a charcoal barbeque at the end.
In fact the plan of having the barbeque becomes ever more attractive as the week goes on because we've been eating tinned and processed grub and we're horrified that anybody is able to live on this rubbish all the time. Although it tastes acceptable, there's no feeling at the end of any satisfaction or interest during the meal. We haven't dared to read the ingredients but what is for sure is that we can't wait to return to eating real food again.
And on that subject, we will be trying alternative ways of purchasing food in. As well as looking to have milk delivered regularly, there is also a farm nearby which will provide a bag of seasonal fruit and veg each week which is intriguing. If we have anything left over I can cook soups or chutneys in the new kitchen.
This will happen the moment it's all complete. As of about ten minutes ago, the sink now has working taps so we can finally cease washing up in a tiny bowl on a table. Civilisation is returning!
