I probably could but no fridge freezer here yet either ... Using an electric cool box ATM lol think my oven may be in quite quick as it's in a tall unit . I'll know more on Monday when the builder starts , will also give him keys so I dont have to stay all week

Sounds as if the kitchen's going to be gorgeous when it's done. Definitely lean mean grilling till then!

 

[ellie1969]

Yup will also make some of the pepper stew from the recipe section to heat up on PV days meat & salad for lunch or microwaved scrambled eggs with salmon , ach there's plenty options I'll just have to make a list and bring up what I need

[Lausanne]

arty0049: enjoy!

 

[ellie1969]

Well my excitement was short lived as it wasn't my delivery hubby called them at 4.30 when it still hadn't been delivered and was told that they were behind on deliveries and we wouldn't get it until tom-morrow to say he was angry at them would be an understatement as he explained that we wouldn't be there (heading back home after kitchens delivered in the morning) to lock the tank back up so I'm still cold and be sitting on a stone floor most of the day scraping old carpet , brittle Lino tiles and glue of it . Good eating day again and managed more water. Not much choice for food seeing as I'm in middle of nowhere lol.

Fab loss esp. at TOTM and well done on resisting temptation at
the 40th. The pizza would have been a will-power test for me for sure. Great news on the kitchen front too - it sounds like a big project but exciting too. Xx
