A grilled slice of sourdough bread, half of an avocado, applied like butter, egg salad, and alfalfa sprouts. Need I say more? What a lunch.
E’s blood pressure is holding steady, so, that is a worry done, thank the good Lord.
Oh, Luis, and Martín are coming here in the next week. They have phase two of our remodel almost finished. Let me show you what is going to happen.
As you can see from the photos, we will have more storage, and, more space to display our much loved Mexican artifacts.
The flower box is deep enough to hide the plastic window boxes I bought to plant anything in, from herbs, to flowers. The dirt will all be contained within the plastic boxes, and those placed inside the wooden box. In the long run, dirt, directly in the wood box, would rot the wood, and that would not do.
Originally, we had thought that the hutch would have a black granite top on it to meld it with the kitchen countertops, and clear glass on the doors. We have changed our minds, about the granite. Now we think that, as it will be in the living room, with the oak shelving, etc., we will leave it plain. We will use it to display all of our beautiful Japanese, and Mexican dishes.
There will be the domino effect, once these few things are installed. The dishes will come out of the kitchen, and go into the hutch. The food staples, in the pantry, will go into the kitchen; the small appliances will come into the kitchen, into the cabinet under the fermentation station.
Where there is a drawer, holding the two plastic garbage buckets, there will be two drawers, like the two to its left. We need drawers, not garbage buckets. Those we have hanging on the drawers themselves; one for food wastes, and one for paper, and plastic, etc.
We are really starting to get organized, and will continue to do so when the new furnishings are installed. While we wait, patiently, for that to happen, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones.
