My Tidy Kitchen has moved to Colorado! As a part of the Leadership Development Rotational Program I’m in for work, I’ve been relocated to Colorado for a one-year assignment in our office here in CO. We left Sunday night and arrived on Monday afternoon (with a brief overnight stay in Des Moines). The trip was long and boring, and rather uneventful. I have this week off from work and have basically been unpacking and making expensive trips to Target. I did venture out to the Cherry Creek Mall in Denver yesterday.
Since I haven’t done much cooking here in the new kitchen, here are some pictures of my kitchen in not-so-tidy form to hold you over until my next post.
The kitchen: before unpacking…
During… (please, no one buy me anymore kitchen stuff!)
And after! Back to being tidy.
And the first meal in our new place: beef tenderloin on the grill, corn on the cob, ciabatta rolls, and fruit.
In less than two months, I will need to learn to make high-altitude adjustments to my baking skills… For those of you that have not heard, we are moving to Colorado in June for my job. This is a huge change for John and me, since we both grew up in Minnesota and all our friends and family are here. It’s been a bunch of mix of emotions so far: stress, excitement, sadness, but we’re excited for what this adventure will bring.
Thanks to King Arthur Flour on Twitter, I found this article that sums up what you need to know about high-altitude baking. Seems intimidating, but practice makes perfect! I will need to find some new friends to test recipes on.
Here’s a picture of our new home that we’ll be moving into in June. We’ll have a guest room, so you are welcome to come visit us!
