We've been working on a two
week month project to install a counter top with cupboards and sink on the opposite side of the dining hall for the drink station, move the dirty dish/garbage station into a corner of the room with a newly-erected wall and move the mail/information corner into the former drink station corner. On Monday we started using the new coffee machines and hot water cooker, which are directly connected to water = no more shuffling huge 40 liter metal vats in and out of the kitchen with impatient people asking if there is more coffee. The coffee is also no longer sour-tasting as it is brewed directly into 2,5 liter thermoses and stays piping hot for hours.
Oh, we love it!

"You know what I love about cooking? I love that after a day when nothing is sure, and when I say nothing, I mean nothing, you can come home and absolutely know that if you add egg yolks to chocolate, sugar and milk, it will get thick. It's such a comfort!" I love that quote! Anyone know where it's from? I watched it (twice) over the weekend and immediately went and bought the cookbooks online. They were too heavy (translates $40) to ship over here, so they'll be waiting for me when I get home! I can't wait to get to know them!
I LOVE THE NEW DRINK COUNTER! Tis fantastic! I like the wall there to kinda hide the dirty dishes too. Very cool. I don't know where the quote is from, but I'll keep your cook books "safe" for you til you get back... ; ) hehe! :D Btw... that quote makes no sense. Guess you had to have watched the movie...
oh btw... you should google "The Coffee Song" by Frank Sinatra
Hehe, thanks! We think it's awesome too!!! The quote is from Julie and Julia. The cookbooks I bought are How to Master the Art of French Cooking volume 1 & 2. ;) I give you permission to love them until I get home. :D
I knew that!! I love that movie!
Espesially when they look in the mirror and go: We look good!.... *pause* But not great. Hehe!
Oh and my fave... "I can blog. I have thoughts!"
