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.

I just want a real kitchen, you.

I won't even be picky about the countertops.

I hate dirty counters... grr...

Mine is too big!! Way too much to clean, and I hate the floors.

OOOOOOo I'm so looking forward to having slate flooring its going to look sooooo cool

I am done with wanting a butcher block. They sure are cool though. I am a little depressed now! That is OK, I will have acres of fun waiting for me to take care of and needy inlaws. Hmmmph, I will be just fine

The floors in the new kitchen will be hardwood... The whole house has hardwood already... I really like that... What kind of counter tops do you all recommend then? Can't have those type of germs with the little ones.

I think mine is pretty... but I have learned to hate the counters...

It isn't yellow anymore though...

I do like it! I love it Al what color is it now?

Its an earthtone from the counter top... its called sandstone I think... but it si just a dark tan. I really want slate or ceramic tile in my kitchen floor... I have nasty linoleum right now... The kitchen was the only thing the previous oners redid but they were horrible at picking out color schemes... im an artist, and I nearly fell over when I wlaked in to light pink, light blue, light yellow, and mint green walls.. loll

Myth I suggest Corian countertops... they make some that look like granite now, but are easier to clean.

I'll look it up and see what kind of prices I can find... is that the same as those dishes?? I know I probably sound stupid asking that question but hey a closed mouth don't get fed... lol

Corian is what we have at the new house. I love them...

I believe it is different from the dishes... I have never personally had the corian, but my sister has and swears by it... of course polished concrete is really poular too. It looks awesome and its really inexpensive

Myth, I think you mean corell dishes

Corian is much less money and looks like granite. I thought it was granite when I walked in. You can clean it easy and it is a smooth surface. Look shiny and clean all the time.

And don't forget your aseptic technique when cleaning properly.

Do you have time to do this? LOL... I just spray everything down with anitbacterial stuff and leave it at that.. lol... well not the granite, not allowed to use it on there...

I just use a bleach bottle on all surfaces. I think we need some bacteria to live and be immune...

Oh no now I'm in trouble... The site I'm looking at has a design studio... lol
DuPont™ Surfaces

Just a note for those of you who want slate or stone floors: be VERY careful what kind of finish is put on them. Some companies will put a horrible finish on the floor that looks GREAT... but is 5x as expensive to keep up. Check with someone on the cost of stripping and refinishing before you choose your finish.

(yes, I work for that kind of company)

Mr muscle orange wipes used here I bloody hate the smell of cleaners but I can just about stand the orange ones and the wipes are great hehehehehe no rinsing or swilling wipe and throw.
