So… this is what my kitchen looks like right now. A large hole where my refrigerator and pantry used to be. Kind of important items for a kitchen, don’t  you think?

I know you’re jealous, but really.. try not to be.  I know you wish you had to walk out to the far end of the garage, tripping over all the shoes, hopping over the bikes, scooters, bike trailers and miscellaneous refrigerator parts to reach the gallon of milk in your refrigerator. And once you’re back inside the house and all the way back into the kitchen, only then do you remember that you also needed the butter.  You’re jealous of my pregnancy brain, too- aren’t you?  I bet you wish you could forget every sentence that starts to make it’s appearance from your lips.  I’d show you a picture of all my pantry items sitting in bags and boxes on my dining room table and scattered across my husband’s office floor, but I don’t think you could handle it. 🙂

It’s been this way for about 2 + weeks now and it’s going to be this way for another 2 weeks.  We’ve eaten out so much I think I might throw up if I see another cheeseburger.  So… I made a meal plan for the rest of the month and I decided to make the best of it!  Last night I made Lobster mac-n-cheese- YUM. I made one with lobster and one without (for the kids).  To tell you the truth, I think it was better without the Lobster so next time I think I’ll save the $20 per pound!

And tonight I made Crab Cakes and Salad- my new favorite recipe!  It’s a seafood kind of week, I guess.

And this is what my kitchen looked like after:

I am a VERY messy cook!  I can’t help it.
