It has not been a sad or terrible experience to eat alone at my my big (45 in. x 90 in.) table without a TV, computer, music, or newspaper—or pets. I put expense and effort into my meal, and I enjoy buying the food, preparing it, eating it, and cleaning up afterwards. It is all very sensory and satisfying. Some music can be nice for a while, sometimes I can read a little. There have been occasions when I have eaten with family, friends, in groups, or at work—most of my life, I would say—it makes me enjoy being alone all the more.

A few times I have used a microwave, but never owned one. I was delighted with DeLonghi, went through three of them and became unhappy with them. I didn’t think I would be able to get another toaster oven, and then I saw the Breville.
I’ve used it for everything, even toast, not cookies, because I make two batches at a time; but cheesecakes, roast chicken, roasted veggies, potatoes, pizza, reheating…, and I think I saw small enough muffin tins at CB2. I rarely use my gas oven.

I do have a larger table, I will be getting the chairs so everyone will be able to sit at the table and see the Legumier while they enjoy the delicious food from it. Thank you.

For some months I had racked my brains, what imagination I had, and more than a few people at Home Depot, several different times I went there, on how I could build a bookcase just like that.

I’m not glad I failed, but I’m glad you guys succeeded.

A lovely place, and a delightful story: working dates and now there are three. It would be hard if you had to choose between the cottage and the marriage, it’s great that you have both.
