I’d like to submit for your consideration that I have the most generous mother in the entire world – some may disagree, but can your mom do this?
House? Painted. By hand. In a week. Done!
Her most recent demonstration of badassitude came last month, when she and her remodeling partner-in-crime Jim came down to renovate our kitchen. They installed Chris’ new favorite toy, the all-mighty dishwasher, and installed new cabinets all around. It’s our new sanctuary, and it’s getting me back in the kitchen to play!
Aah, new cabinets, countertops, sink, everything! We’ll get to the backsplash and the drawer pulls in a bit, but it’s heaven even now.
I hopped right in when they were done and made some old standbys: whole wheat biscuits, sauteed chard and mushrooms, and our fave, the Zuni Cafe Roast Chicken (sans bread salad). We sat in the kitchen and gazed at our new digs as we ate, savoring the blessings of family.
I think I’ll rest my case there – the evidence is overwhelming.

It looks great!
We enjoyed seeing the pictures all over again. It is appropriate that you give your talented, generous Mom some public recognition for her extensive efforts!
Bring on those recipes!
I agree you have a fabulous Mom!!!! Congrats on the paint, the kitchen and boy that chicken looks good! xoxoxo
