I am certain that all of you, being intelligent and creative people, could come up with a myriad of kitchen disasters to haunt my nightmares. Burnt pies. Dough on the floor. One ingredient mysteriously goes missing and there is no time to go to the store because you promised this to somebody YESTERDAY. But this. This beats them all. Because it happened. Actually, they happened. On the same day. At approximately the same time. I'm surprised I lived to tell about it. What happened?
The refrigerator croaked. Our water main broke.
Yes, that was my Tuesday. After much coaxing, several arguments with certain parties, and one kind repairman, the refrigerator was resuscitated. (Actually, the wheezing noises it was making as my milk spoiled really did make it sound as though is was coming back from the dead.) Seems that refrigerators weren't made to withstand temperatures above 80 degrees in non-air conditioned houses for extended periods of time. The fact that I use the stove, which sits immediately beside it, at regular intervals can't be helping the poor dear's health either.
The water main line? Oh, that was the gas company's fault. Seems we had a leak down the street, and they hit the line digging up the leak. According to one neighbor, they do this every time they come out here. How did I discover that the water was off, you ask? Well, see, err...it's kinda embarrassing but I flushed the toilet and it just sort of...gurgled...and halfheartedly did its thing and then I turned the handle on the sink and stared dumbfounded at it as it did nothing but putt putt putt-ed. I would still be stuck in there if it weren't for a little thing called bottled water. Most expensive hand-wash ever.
So that's why you STILL don't get any recipes. Didn't I cook today? I plead the fifth. Instead, I'd like to share a few pictures to whet your appetites for things to come:
Yes, all of these were made right here in this little kitchen. Maybe, just maybe, if you ask ever-so-nicely, I will tell you how I did it. Which one did we have for dinner tonight? Actually, tonight we had these:
Be jealous. Be very jealous.
