Starting Again

It's been a long time since I last posted - over a year, actually! A lot has happened since then, but the one major event is that my husband and I bought our first house. It's great, and the best part is our large kitchen!

It was hard to entertain before in our little apartment by the beach. Holidays were a juggling act, with over 20 people coming over for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My prep space was small, and my roasting pan barely fit in our tiny oven. I especially hated our 50's yellow counter tiles, which were very hard to keep clean.

In the new house we have granite counter tops with enough prep space, a place to put my big mixer, and an oven big enough to fit our Thanksgiving turkey. I also have cupboard space now to store all my cooking and baking tools and entertainment stuff.

We've already had quite a few parties - baby showers, BBQ's, potluck dinners, and wine tastings. I've also catered a few parties, and I'll post the pictures in later entries.

It's nice to be back!
