Our kitchen

Here’s a photo of the main wall in the kitchen, where the range is (and hood will be)…

{I love my range.  I didn’t think it was possible to love an appliance but I sort of do.  It looks good and cooks food faster than any oven/stove we’ve ever had before.  We’ve always inherited our appliances with our houses and so this house is the first time we’ve done research & purchased what we really want.  There is SUCH a difference, I had NO IDEA. Crazy.}

Here’s a picture of a beef (before we cooked it) on Saturday for some friends…

We overcooked the scrambled eggs on the first morning because we didn’t know eggs could even cook that quickly.  We turned around & they were done.  (We had gas burners at our last house too but this one has much higher BTUs I guess…  I got it because it was pretty. 😉  (And came with good reviews.)

I searched for hours for this thing and looked at lots of different brands- all online- before coming to my decision.  I wanted an affordable professional style range (which for us, ruled out many of the higher-end brands like Wolf or LaCanche- MY DREAM 😉 that looked good & had good reviews.  Having a rotisserie function was something on my dream wish list and I pretty much flipped out when I found one that had it all.  (To check out some more ranges I found that looked good, go here.)

I am really liking some of my other appliances too, so when I get the chance, I’ll post on them too.

And finally, just wanted to share a quick pic I snapped (when I was in my Norman Bates rocker holding the baby this morning) out our loft window…  Watching the sunrise with the boys has become one of my favorite things…  It’s so peaceful and recharges me somehow:

I hope your Thanksgiving was special & that you find some quiet time in the holiday whirlwind we’re now entering into!!
