Sunday morning started out at -15C but we did have lots of sun.

It was a good weekend to get some cooking done in my teeny kitchen. I have an addition to show you that I think will make working in this small space a little easier. We have installed IKEA cupboards, which we really like, but I could not get used to digging in a cupboard for my pots and pans. I am used to having an island at the old house where pots were in close reach so adding a small pot rack was the answer. Plus it freed up a valuable cupboard.
My daughter and her partner were over for dinner on Sunday. Roast beef with all the trimmings for the guys (including Kane) and veggie lasagna, cole-slaw & steamy-hot rolls for the non-meat eaters.
Chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing for dessert.
And tea. Always tea.
The cooks in their kitchen.

Our first dinner guests at the mouse-house.
So, we hope for more spring-like weather this coming week.
We need more sun to thaw the earth and keep the kitties warm.
We need to hear the Spring birds arrive and see the first of the crocuses appear.
We need longer days.
There is so much beauty to look forward to and we are all more than ready to welcome it.
"Where are you, Spring?"
"We long to see you again."
hugs, Deb

ReplyDeleteThose bunnies at least look very Spring-like.
ReplyDeleteIf you're cooking up meals on that scale, you must be feeling pretty settled in your new nest!
HeHe! I'm a bit concerned....?

It's officially a home now....cooking in the kitchen and having company! Looks delicious! We put Ikea cabinets in our new kitchen and I love them, too!

ReplyDeleteI do love your little collections..the sheep etc..
Breaking in the dining area w/ family:)
Oh yum, your dinner sounds delicious, especially the dessert! Loved seeing Sierra resting in a sun puddle in your mouse-house. Blessings, Jo
ReplyDeleteCome for a visit to North Carolina--everything is springing up and the trees are bursting with color, XOXO
ReplyDeleteDeb, it does seem endless for you this year - I'm praying and hoping this will be the very last week of wintry weather for you!
ReplyDeleteLove your kitchen and the pot rack - and even in our smaller kitchens we manage to come up with awesome meals from the warming red casserole pots, don't we?
Love the animals - real and faux!
Hang in there - keep your boots at the ready, flip flop days may be awhile yet!
Hugs - Mary
If we all could sleep like Sierra until Springs gets here...
ReplyDeleteYour bunnies are so cute. I like the new pot rack and the food looks delicious. We've had a day or two of warm sunny days but lately very cool, cloudy days. In the 30's at night. Unusual for here, at the end of March.
ReplyDeleteThe mouse house is looking quite like a home. Spring, meanwhile, seems quite elusive.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is so cozy!
ReplyDeleteHoping you see some signs of spring soon.
A good day to have family over for dinner. Spring hard to come some day....right?...
ReplyDeleteSorry, spring 'has' to come some day...
ReplyDeleteIt looks like wonderful food and delighted guests for Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThe idea to use a pot rack is great and it's just the right size and shape - perfect!
I hope your spring will come soon...
Love,
Lily
Sierra knows the best spots in the house Deb - she follows the sun!
ReplyDeleteThe pot rack is a great idea for a small kitchen and convenient too.
Yummy food and what a lovely collection of rabbits, I especially love the last one, he's gorgeous with his blue hat and Easter basket full of eggs!
I've had so much trouble trying to leave a comment on lots of blogs - frustrating - I'm writing a post to see if any one else is having the same issues.

It looked like spring here for a few days, but it's back to cold temps. The ice is out of the river, so that's encouraging. At least the cold weather means less mud to cope with on my way to the chicken coop. Still, I do long for that first snowdrop to bloom!
