Brrrrrr!

It is SO cold....I made cheapo stew with ground beef and it carried us through the weekend. It's been down in the teens early in the mornings. We worked on our kitchen all weekend so we didn't have to be out in the weather except to go to the grocery store.

We finally got the bar cleaned off (our construction catchall), turned on the fireplace and the TV and had a pan of cornbread with our stew. All I had in the freezer was ground beef and chicken, so Hubby chose the ground beef. It simmered the better part of the afternoon and really smelled good.

Before...

After....

It's beginning to look like a kitchen again. I am grouting today and now will have a place to set a hot dish and a place to prep my food. WOW it's been a long time! We still have a long, long way to go but we're getting there.

Wish us luck and have a great day!
