Cee Neuner’s B&W Challenge: Kitchen

This week, the highly-anticipated mini kitchen renovation began this week. I said “adieu” to the 1980’s faux butcher block countertop and “welcome” to a simple charcoal gray countertop. The “vintage” tiles from 1969 are gone and framing done in preparation for electrical work this week. I’m so excited!

I was also excited to see that Cee Neuner’s black & white photo challenge this week is Things Found in the Kitchen.

Baking is love made edible. -Unknown

Even though we’re in the midst of renovations, meals still need to be prepared, and I’m scheduled to provide snacks for a ladies’ event on Wednesday, so I’m sneaking in some baking whenever I can!

This afternoon I baked cranberry streusel muffins and orange jack-o-lantern sugar cookies. Of course, I have to enjoy a cup of tea while I’m waiting.

If you don’t think shoes are important, just ask Dorothy or Cinderella.

OK, the challenge wasn’t specifically “Cinderella Shoes” but what girl could resist pulling out her wedding dress (which still fits 23 years later – thank goodness!! ) and some sparkly shoes.

????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????

Chocolate is good, but shoes are sugar-free!

If I were to get married again (which I have no plans to ever do again), would I stick with white, or would I dare to be different? Judging on how much I’ve changed since I started my mid-life crisis, I think the answer is “yes”! Maybe…red?

????????????????????????????????????

Forget the prince…keep the shoes!

The art of the bird is to conceal its nest both as to position and as to material, but now and then it is betrayed into weaving into its structure showy and bizarre bits of this or that, which give its secret away and which seem to violate all the traditions of its kind. – John Burroughs

Practice makes perfect. After a long time of practicing, our work will become natural, skillful, swift and steady. – Bruce Lee
