First breakfast in the new diggs.
We are in the middle of moving from our 5th wheel trailer into a cute little house I've nicknamed "The Cottage" because it's so small. This morning was the first meal, or shall I say food I've prepared in the cottage. Can't believe I have counter space and don't have to put the cutting board over the sink to prep the food. http://i39.tinypic.com/1hv8z6.jpg Didn't have much to choose from so I made scrambled eggs with some leftover refried beans from the take out the night before. http://i39.tinypic.com/mbhaua.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2z50jm1.jpg Plain ol' scrambled eggs never tasted so good. I am going to have to get used to an electric stove though. koko doing the happy dance. -- There is no love more sincere than the love of food George Bernard Shaw www.kokoscorner.typepad.com updated 04/26 |

You'll get a lot of use out of the island counter space too. I can't believe you've been in a 5th wheel all this time and have managed to do all the amazing cooking you do in such a space?! You have patience and talent, girlfriend!! |

That's a great idea, I'll have to look into that once my bank account starts recuperating.

As I read this line, hubby just came in laughing to say he had to stop himself from prewarming a burner (we're getting used to gas). Congratulations on the new home! I'm sure you'll figure out how to get more counter space. IKEA is your friend! My son's kitchen is the size of a postage stamp but he figured out how to hang pots & pans (by copying my pot hanger) AND give himself a 6 ft. long butcher block counter with storage under, thanks to IKEA. -- I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food. |

We have a cleaning lady now (a friend) who is getting things organized for us. At this moment, she is sanitizing the kitchen cupboards so I will have somewhere to put things when I get to the point of unloading kitchen boxes. We're working with the bare essentials right now. We're very happy here. I hope you'll be at least as happy at your new place. Carol -- Change "invalid" to James Bond's agent number to reply. |

When we moved from our fifth wheel (we lived on the road for 9 years) into our house, we were astounded by how much stuff we had in the trailer and truck. > I am going to have to get used to an electric stove though. I'm still getting used to it after 4 years. I wasn't too thrilled with the propane stove in the RVs either. I really miss natural gas. The thing I learned about the electric stove is to turn it off BEFORE the food is done. The retained heat will continue to cook it. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count.

We have Dish Network and I called and asked them to do a "moving package" They installed the dish and hooked up the receivers for free.

Koko congratulations on your Cottage! I know of what you speak- we bought a converted Trailways bus and sold our house. We were not as hearty as you and decided after 1 1/2yrs that we needed a slightly larger place and a home base. Now we live in a "Park Model" which is a 500sq ft trailer. We have several friends that have been "full timing" for many years. I am always amazed at the great things that come out of your kitchen and love your pictures. joining in with the other dancers - Clivia |

I'd call them if I were you and explain that this is >not a new account, but a "move" It wasn't my satellite t.v. which was free. It is my Hughes satellite internet. I got both satellites moved within days. A purchase from IKEA and one from Jerome's furniture delivered the next day. Why can't AT&T that only needs to flip a switch to transfer my land line phone not be able to do it until the 18th, and I called them 2 weeks ago.

I dont' mind the electric stove all that much.
