Ok, I suspect this may be a surprise but here was our Thanksgiving prep and dinner this year.
First the dinner......pellet smoked beef ribs and Gordon Ramsey sausage pasta....
B-Rib Money!
Yum yum yum!
Ok now the story behind the rib plate for our Thanksgiving meal.
So a week ago this was the state of our kitchen.......the Gas guys playing hide and seek with the Gas line......and as they were cutting into the line I was moving the 50 amp line that was used for the old induction to the new oven location and the 20 amp for the range top...
Closing up the mine field and the wife did some mud work!
Putting the finishing touches on the cabinet boxes in the wife’s stall to keep the dust down.
here was the state of the kitchen last night ...
all I can say is this was a a huge day for us!!!
Oh man this is just a wonderful thing to behold and be thankful for!!!
and if 6-18k burners doesn’t make you smile, having a true simmer of a dual stacked burner will send shivers down your spine!
the second to last task of the night was to put the last coat of poly on the oven cab! This cab is just a few inches short of 9 ft tall, so after seeing the top coat go on as fingers crossed means time to celebrate!
So here was the celebration last night after the poly work (9:45 pm).....the very first cook!
bingo two simple sunny side up eggs!
oh man finally having GAS again is a wonderful thing! The eggs were pretty good to!
so this morning the wife made rice crispy treats and I made little Smokey’s (searing them before bbq sauce brought tears to my eyes!)
then the work began on bringing in the big boycab and ovens........
so this was the state of the kitchen at 6pm when the ovens went live.....it was 6:10 pm....we have been without an oven for 4 months.....this brought tears to my wife’s eyes!
So the rib dinner was brought to us all by our 18 year old boy as I was working on the oven install. I’d say he did pretty dang good!
the next chapters will be taking out the sink and bar for the new ones I will finish up this weekend, then doors and the top pantry cabs, then the granite and I will do the 3/4” hickory floors....
so tomorrow the wife will be baking the pies while I’m in the shop and the big turkey din din will be on Saturday.....better late than never in my book!
thanks for being part of our chaos but it’s all good and something are that we are thankful for to have our dream kitchen.
