Moving

I have a whole new kitchen to play in now! Its definitely not 100% put together yet (yeah, like it came in a box) but its really coming together. I think I may rearrange a couple appliances and get some more storage as well. However, it will be dinner party worthy in NO TIME! You'll all be invited, don't worry about that :)

Saturday was a lovely last dinner in #245. Grilled Yellowfin tuna and a simple salad. If you're thinking about getting a tabletop grill/griddle...DO IT! So worth the $$ (actually inexpensive) and such a time saver. I recommend getting a multiple use unit that you can grill and stew in.
Last night I didn't cook in the new place because the fam wanted to go out to dinner. None of us had been to Rumors on Monroe St. in a while, so we basically HAD to go there. If none of you in the Toledo area have been there, do yourself a favor. Like many other places in the city, its Lebanese and American cuisine and the price is GREAT for the actual amount of food you get. My personal favorite (Falafel dinner) feeds me for 4 days straight. Kevin, my brother, had never been there before, but my folks knew what they were in for. Yet, this didn't stop them from ordering appetizers along with dinner. More so my dad and brother though...its impressive and kind of gross the amount they can pack away.
The falafel is probably some of the best I've ever had. Its really a shame that I can only eat one ball of it (bigger than a golf ball, but smaller than a tennis ball in size) by the time I'm done eating the salad that comes with the meal. So now my new fridge smells chick peas and fava beans and spices.

The remainder of the wedding cake from class is sitting in the break room here at work as we speak. I DID keep one slice for myself. The top tier (sunset) went home to be shared between my sister's clan and my parents.

My goal in the kitchen tonight - find a better place for the coffee maker. Pictures to come of the most adorable kitchen table ever tomorrow. Nothing says 'Ms Jones Kitchen' like a pink speckeled table and pastel pink matching chairs. Would a matching clock be overkill? Perhaps not...

until tomorrow....
