Just what the recipe called for!

Its here! After many weeks patiently waiting for it to be delivered to our shipper. Our "new" antique stove has arrived from Illinois. Of course the driver was an hour early for the delivery appointment and I was running errands.

Anticipation has been driving us crazy. Along with concern that it would get here in one piece.




Revealed... and I am relieved! It is missing a knob and needs a little TLC but its just what the recipe called for to complete our kitchen renovation.



A few weeks ago I spent a great girls getaway weekend in Austin (only downer was Sex in the City was sold out!). Found this bottle of red at an adorable little grocery in the downtown area. The drawing on the label is an amazing likeness of our stove. We are planning to uncork in celebration after the stove is installed and I cook our first meal on it.

Fab idea! I'm glad you're planning on drinking it and not christening it by shattering it on the side of the stove. I look forward to seeing your kitchen when it's completed!
