The first picture shows the now mostly empty cabinets. The second one shows our new 'kitchen'. Under the table is full of boxes. Things that we won't be using while the kitchen is being rebuilt - like the other 3 sets of dishes I like to use. Bread and butter plates Heck, we're going to use paper plates once the dishwasher is disconnected, so we certainly don't need bread n butter plates!

Note the shelves to the right in the picture. That's where a big part of the pantry items went. There's box to the right of the hutch (behind the shelves) with more pantry items. The two boxes on the right end of the hutch contain all of my spices. I have a lot, and use most of them on a regular basis. Not sure how much I'll be using them without a real kitchen, but didn't want to pack them away.

Yes, I have a complete list of whats in every box, and whats where in the hutch. Not that I'm using the lists much. Frequently, Bob and I have to make two attempts at getting anything. First attempt takes us to where the item used to be (25 years of training is hard to break), and then we remember - No, it's not there anymore.

Bob dug the camp stove out of the basement, and tried it. Yup, still works. I think Hamburger (or Tuna or Chicken) Helper will be our new taste treat on those days when we can't use the grill. Not very healthful eating, but I suppose we'll survive.
