Marilyn…Great post! The kitchen is the center of things even for me, and I don’t cook! Everyone always ends up in the kitchen, no matter what. I have 2 friends that come over every Wednesday night…we never seem to make it past my kitchen counter .

Jean (RT): You got my step-by-step tutorial on pan-poached eggs. Let’s see ‘em!

DrDomestic: Love seeing the locals! Thirteen years later, I am still taken by the late afternoon light here (except on tornado days, of course.)

Jenni: Welcome. Improvising is just a way of life in the kitchen, isn’t it?

Sara: Writing at the kitchen table is the best kind of cliche – it actually works! It’s certainly working for you. Take care.

Pat: I’m pretty sure if you love whatever you’re photographing, it comes out good, whatever your skills. Thanks for coming by.

Karen: Nice to see you again, and hope all is well! I’ll just bet you’re at home in your kitchen, too.

Susan Schwartz: Always happy to see you here. Thanks for such kind words; isn’t it amazing that no matter how many rooms you have, everyone ends up in the kitchen?

April: Next time you stay for lunch. Grated butter? Now that’s a butter delivery system I can use. Off to make some toast.

muddywaters (Mike): You’re always hanging out in the kitchen, using your skills for good. What’s your latest project?

12th Man Training: welcome, and thanks! The camera does all the work.

I’m trying to hatch an evil plan to convince the blogosphere that you’re my alter ego and that I’m actually responsible for your lovely writing and aesthetically pleasing pictures. However, my limited intelligence hasn’t figured a way to do this.

Maybe I should just put my evil intentions back on the shelf and hang out in the kitchen.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Your writing is lovely. It was good to see you yesterday. I used my small grater to grate butter on a bunch of bread I was toasting in the oven…..why haven’t I been doing that for years?

what nice writing, marilyn. sigh. really nice.
there is something so deliciously, wonderfully creative about being in the kitchen, about being around food and the fixings for meals. so nice reading someone who gets that. we live in a house with 13 rooms on three floors – and i’d trade the kitchen for all of them. bet you would, too. thanks.
