Get back in the kitchen and make me a pie!

LOL I can make you a plaster Pie but nothing else dear boy I don't have a ruddy kitchen so to speak of.

Don't you be making him nuthin' but a mud pie.

That boy is spoiled enough.

LOL how about a special millie pie ;)

Oh a special millie pie would be dandy for Nos.

I should probably ask what, exactly, that means...

So what, exactly, does that mean?

Hehehehehehe what kind of sauce shall I add??

Hahahaha, I love this!

Oh, the yellow kind!

Ah.

Um... no thanks.

Omg!!

Lol... I'm sure millie can whip up a wonderful pie for you... lol.

I'm thinking about putting butcher block counter tops in. Or at least something that I don't have to grab a cutting board every time I go to cook... lol. The only problem is budget...

Butchers blocks the real ones need a hell of a lot of work it's the only think I hated cleaning when I was chef there s to scrub you have to do it with salt and a wire brush.
The only advice I can really give you is stay away from granite its a lot of work and needs treating and polishing and cleaning with special cleaners.

Amen to that!! I have granite and it looks and sounds so nice until you get it... you can't use anything on it. I can hardly disinfect it. You can use it without a cutting board, but I'd rather just have the board... I feel like it is never clean..

I would love to have butcher block counters. Sometimes we can find the old restaurant kind... If I can get some for cheap I will be adding them to my kitchen when we move. The kitchen we will have is absolutely wonderful and big, I can't wait to get there. I need to be more open minded about the new neighbors though! (mother and father in laws)

Yes and butcher block tends to harvest germs

Even with a bleach bottle handy?

You got to know proper aseptic technique. Giggle

Yes Start you have to remember a real block is used to cut raw meat hense why they are scrubbed down with salt and a wire brush to get into all the scratches to bring out rotton stuff they really aren't that hygienic

You see, in addition to what CBW just said, it is wood and bacteria tends to get into the cracks and crevices and multiplies, so they are pretty, but not practical.
