Heya folks,
I was just ruminating on how I choose a dwelling. I realize that many
folks want a big bedroom, or a large living area.
Me, I want a great kitchen..or a large one. I want one that fits
how I cook.
The rest of it, I could care much less about. I would love a place to
garden too, which I will have in my new house.
How do all of you cooking/foodie types choose your dwellings?

We moved here 2 1/2 years ago. After looking at about a dozen houses
and making offers on several the realtor brought us to this one. I
walked into the kitchen and said we'll take it. Not really that
fast, but the rest of the house was also great and is on a 1+ acre
lot. We have since bought the 2 lots behind us and have room for a
fairly large garden and a dozen fruit trees. We also have muscadine
vines and kiwi fruit on the fence at the side of the house.
We moved in and have not changed anything. The deck got replaced
because it had not been kept up. There are a couple of things I would
like to do but they involve major projects.
I will take some pictures when I can find the counters again. Right
now there are piles of tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers on the counter
and bags of potatoes sitting on the floor. The canner is still
sitting on the stove where we canned potatoes yesterday. As soon as
the dishwasher finishes I need to wash some canning jars and make
pickles with all the cucumbers. We are going to eat one jar of the
potatoes to make sure that we like the taste and texture of the canned
ones before going to all the work to can the rest.
Looks like a busy summer and fall here.
