Thank you, she is my baby. My husband hung the pans for my birthday last year. He installed pullouts in all my lower cabinets except for two. It's made kitchen organization so much easier.

Nice! I would love pullouts.

Whew, take the morning off and I'm so far behind will just say "have a great day" to everyone!

They are pretty handy. We had them in our last home, and I loved them. They do waste some space though, because they leave a few inches on the sides and the back. If anything falls behind them, it's a real pain to get it out.
My brothers are all builders. My oldest brother custom built all his own pull out shelves so there was no wasted space.
He also built his wife a couple of lazy Susan corner cabinets. Her mixer, blender, toaster etc. are all hidden. She can just open the door and swivel, and they are within reach and ready to use. I'm jealous, but she deserves it for putting up with him. He also built custom shelves for her cook books. And an outdoor kitchen. Of course I barely use the kitchen I have, so I don't really need more than a grill. Lol.

That would be so nice to have a kitchen like your SIL's! I've had the pullouts in one house and a lazy Susan cabinet in another house and soft close doors in another house...I just need to get all that stuff in one house

I like my big kitchen and my big bathrooms, but I miss our last house so much. It was an old 40s rancher. It had a little kitchen, little bathrooms, and small closets. But I just loved the layout and the character. I wished we could have moved it here with us.

I’m jealous! I have a lazy Susan and I hate it. I use my kitchen a lot. I would love a new, updated kitchen. I don’t have a lot of countertop. I would like twice as much. Sounds selfish but a girl can dream.

I miss our Casper house. It was built in 1954 but we had totally re-done the inside so it was like living in a new house. And the kitchen was a dream to work in.

You do use your kitchen a lot DMC! Keep dreaming, maybe someday it will come true!

I doubt it Debby. My husband is tired of projects. There’s no way I could gain any more counter space. My dining room is small too.
I should be grateful I have a roof over my head!

Oysters on the half shell are eaten raw, at least that’s how I learned it.

I've never been that hungry. Grateful for that I guess

Nope, not raw, not cooked, not in a box. Not in a plane. Not gonna try those slimey thangs.

They aren't slimy when smoked.

Not a rolling blackout. I'll assume falling ash trees as it was quite windy yesterday (today too). Power was out for 5 hours.

We have a monthly "ash tree" charge on our electric bill. The company is good about removing branches and trees of all nature that are likely candidates for taking out power lines in storms.

Glad your power wasn't out too awfully long. BUT one never knows how long it will be! Do you take drastic measures to keep the refrigerator and freezer food from going bad or just hope for the best? Of course having backup power negates that concern.

June is pushing boundries & breaking rules, as usual.

A roof over the head is a very good thing
