This morning I made a big batch of pork tagine in my slow cooker. I shall freeze individual portions and add them to the other ‘ready meals’ that I have been hoarding so that we have plenty of easy meals that can be put in the microwave during the kitchen build.

The builders are due to arrive on Monday so we shall be spending the next three days emptying cupboards and setting up a temporary kitchen in the garden room. Rick is looking bewildered, he thinks we’re on the move again.

All very exciting. Give Rick plenty of reassuring cuddles.
ReplyDeleteHe will be demanding lots of cuddles from the builders.
DeleteAre you replacing all of your cupboards after the reno? I quite like your black countertop and wooden cupboards. What do you put in a pork tagine? -Jenn
ReplyDeleteAll new cupboards! Dove grey, dark blue island, white quartz worktops and an oak worktop on the island. The tagine was a simple one with red peppers and olives and my magic Ras el Hanout mix that I brought back from France.
DeleteDon't you put pork in a pork tagine?
DeleteOnly on a Thursday.
DeleteThank you for the explanation. Now I am off to find out what Ras el Hanout is. :)
DeleteSpacious and light is always good. Your kitchen looks nice in the photo though.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a bad kitchen (apart from being a bit small and dark) but I wanted something new and fresh.
DeleteWell it'll add yet more value to the bungalow.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so.
DeleteProbably, but I'm not selling!
DeleteRenovations aren't fun but it will be worth it in the end! Your colors sound wonderful. I love a window over the sink.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice view over the garden.
DeleteGood luck. Are you moving into the garage in the meantime?
ReplyDeleteSomething like that!
DeleteDon't forget to save the kitchen curtains, I love them!
ReplyDeleteYes really, I think they're cute
DeleteWhen it's all finished and looking good, you're not going to go in "Love it or list it" are you? Just so that Kirsty can put it all back as it is now !
ReplyDeleteNo, we shall just stay and love it!
DeleteAs they say - no pain, no gain! I am sure that the new kitchen that emerges from the disruption will be just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI really hope so.
