Hearth and Home
I think I found a place for my island. It kind of expands the kitchen into the living room passed the natural border, but I am okay with that. I'm gonna wait a while before filling it up in case there is awkwardness that I'm not seeing yet, but I'm hopeful for having more storage.
In further kitchen news (I am so close to being able to concern myself with other rooms/tasks. So close. But not there yet), I bought a Cuisinart Blend and Cook Soupmaker because a million years ago I had a blender with a heating element in it and looooved it. I lost it in one of the many involuntary possession purges in my past and missed it, so when I saw this modern version, I splurged, even though I already had a perfectly good blender that just didn't have heat. It was, in part, one of those things that I knew H would have encouraged me to treat myself to if he were alive, which does tend to fuel my more extravagant retail therapy.
Anyway, I used it today to make carrot soup. Y'all, making soup in the Soupmaker is awesome, especially for a person with my limited chopping abilities. And the soup is darn tasty. Validation.
