BIG NEWS. Big BIG news.

I have much to update about. I’m not going to even say I’ve been super busy lately, because I always say that. There’s always lots going on, I’m generally all over the place. I have had a little time to bake, which I’m happy about. Last week, Tyler and I made a pie and over the weekend I went home home and my mom and I baked and I’ll get to all that in later posts… But now, for the big news…

I’m moving. I’m actually right in the middle of moving… half of my belongings in my new apartment and half in the old one. Lots of stuff on the floor. 

While moving is kind of annoying, and I get kind of overwhelmed and have lots of mini freak outs, I like the opportunity to reorganize and start fresh. Also, I’m actually only moving downstairs in my building. I lived with Brittany (landlord, roommate, friend, comedienne, all around fabulous lady) for over 2 years and it’s been great and I loved that kitchen, but the apartment downstairs became available and Tyler and I decided not to pass it up (Yeah, big girl things. crazy) I’ve never had my own place before, a whole apartment that’s all mine (well, and Tyler’s). It’s an easier move for me since I just have to walk down the stairs and Tyler’s old apartment isn’t too far. I’m so glad I still get to be a puppy aunt and my friend is taking my old room and she also has a dog so I can continue to get the perks of living with dogs without having the full responsibility. 

Anyway, per usual, I’m rambling. 
Here are some pictures of the kitchen pre-move in.

 

There’s no dishwasher and minimal countertop space, which kinda stinks, but there’s a ceiling fan, portable counters, and tons of built in storage in the two, yes two, pantries and it’s absolutely lovely and we’re going to make it work and I will post pictures after we’re all settled.

Awkwardly taken photo… but exciting things are happening. More on this later.

Oh yeah, Minnie was there too! Except I got there just when they closed the line, but I got to see her, anyway. 

+ more pictures of the kitchen.

My mixing station.

We don’t have a whole lot of counter space in my kitchen so this is what I started doing when it’s baking time. I was getting a lot of splatter all over the toaster so it goes on the floor for a while, and then I just wipe down the wall.

I really want to buy myself a stand mixer for my birthday, but I don’t know where it would go. 

And here we are. My growing apron collection.

(I was in heaven) I want Minnie Mouse’s kitchen.

Some of the things were interactive, which was pretty cool. And there was a recipe for cookies on the fridge, but too much of it is missing to reproduce. 

This is my friend Ariel, in her kitchen. We made 3 pizzas for a lovely get together with an odd assortment of people and an interesting movie. That’s what I made the cupcakes for.
