Martha Stewart in the Kitchen!


Unlike popular opinion, I do cook. I made us some delicious apple pancakes. While I was visiting Bob and Cecelia last month, in New York, they made us some. I think there is a particular name for them, a German name, anyway, the are yummy. We had a busy day ahead of us, so what better way to start the day, with food!

I don't know if this is how they are suppose to look but they taste great!
See, Tom is not starving.

We gutted our master bathroom about a year ago, maybe even two years ago. Regardless, we are finally starting to work on it. I think we are tired of using one bathroom and one shower when all of the kids are home. Or maybe it is because Tom is tired of me ragging on him. The hardest part was picking tile out. I chose Travertine. I think it will look great when we finish. If not, oh well. Time will tell. It is amazing how long it takes to do a row of tile. We managed to get two rows done today. They are 18X18" and heavy.

We still have a lot of work ahead of us.

I can empathize with you on the tiling. I did a lot of that this year. I did the master bath with help and the kitchen, entry, bath and dining room all by myself. I was in so much pain afterwards; I did it all in about a week. I never want to do it again!

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will your bathroom be tiled in a day. Someday!!!

The pancakes are French Apple Hotcakes. Glad they turned out good. I've never tried to make them. That's Bob's specialty.

Martha! How are you???
Great job on the pancakes! I have always enjoyed making food, although I have found another pet peeve... dishes! I hate cleaning the kitchen and washing dishes so much that I'd rather spend more money going out to eat! Which, of course, I've got to reduce...
Either way, you should stop by here and visit us and Natalie one of these trips! We miss you!

I really like the shower, it will look great when it's all done. Looks similar to my shower, except I went with ceramic tile with a natural stone look, to make it easier to clean.
