In the future we may renovate and while I have no problem moving the coffee maker over to the other side of the kitchen, I don't need an island, I don't need pot lights and I don't need granite counter tops (although they would be kinda nice). I just need a full pantry and working appliances.
So anyway, yesterday I made banana cupcakes to get rid of the nasty black bananas on top of the microwave and I took my 72nd stab at pie crust making an apple pie. Dinner was steak, corn on the cob and veggies with homemade dip. Every mixing bowl and measuring spoon was in the sink. By dinnertime I was washing dishes by hand just to get enough forks for us to eat with.
Just a comment on the aforementioned pie crust... for something with practically no ingredients, for some reason I've never had any luck with it. And I consider myself to be a baker. My pie crusts always have the consistency of pancakes if I'm lucky or biscotti if I'm not. I know to keep everything cold and to not overwork the dough but it never worked until this time. I finally cracked it. So it was a good day all around.
So how was your weekend?

I need you. My children and husband need you. The pie crust looks pretty professional to me!
Wow your pie looks amazing!!! We are currently going through a complete kitchen reno ...and its been aweful without a fully operational kitchen.
I checked out your "Let's talk about hair baybee...!" post .. it was wonderful to read how Audrey has embraced her hair (which by the way mine is very much like it .. only its loosen a bit with the weight of the length - mid back). I have not attempted the chemical straigtheners (they reallu scare me) but the blow dry straight method is my preference.
Wishing you a wonderful day! Hopefully the cold and snow will be behind us soon... HHL
