Bucket List

We wrapped up week five by baking cookies on the Traeger- cross one more thing off the Bucket List!  They are pretty tasty, no smoke at all.  It took a couple batches to get the timing down.  Saved some dough for later baking.

Week five was somewhat non-eventful since the cabinets were installed early.   The ovens weren't installed since the electrician didn't install the plugs yet.  Templates were made for the countertops, they will arrive in a couple weeks.  This coming week should be trim painted and installed.  Painting will be done by the professionals on that one.  The floors will be sanded, stained and sealed.  I'm thinking weeks 7&8 are going to be CRAZY!

Cooking adventures for the week besides the cookies; we found this great slow cooker recipe for Tinga (thank you Tammy).  It's cooking as I make this update and smells incredible.  It called for roasted peppers, so I pulled out the electric burner, cranked it to high and a few minutes later, we had roasted peppers.  The rice cooker/slow cooker was also responsible for yummy baked potatoes for last night's dinner.  I just washed up a couple russet's, poked a few holes and cooked them for a couple hours. We had our second restaurant meal of the remodel.   Here's a link to the meal log:
