Quick update!

Just thought I'd share a quick update on the state of the kitchen. It is now in process of being torn our and remodeled. Turns out I wont get everything I want, because that would be too big a job for the time allotted by the builders, but it will be improved. But at least it's starting to look like our house again. Not just a black pit from hell!!

Lucky Star's Kitchen Temporarily Closed

Well, it's been about two months since my last post, nearly three, but there is a good reason. On April 23rd we came home to find we'd had a house fire. It was only small, but there was extensive smoke damage to the whole house, which meant we had to move into temporary accommodation while repairs and cleaning were undertaken. Sadly we lost one of my three kitties after he was trapped inside and was overcome by smoke. I think that's been the hardest part for me.

As of today the cleaning has been completed, the builders should go in next week, and in six to eight weeks we should be home. Our kitchen is going to be completely demolished and replaced, due to the damage of the toxic, corrosive smoke. New oven, sink, dishwasher, cupboards, everything! In one way it's a positive because it'll be a brand new kitchen. On the downside, we're homesick and just want it finished.

So for the moment, until I'm home in my own kitchen again, my posts will remain minimal. I may update with changes as the building works commence and the new kitchen comes to life, but there may not be many recipes. My rental house kitchen is a bit small and the oven is rubbish. Sorry to anyone who may have become a follower. I'll try to be back as soon as humanly possible, builders and insurance company hold ups allowing. : )
