Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We decided to bypass the crowds and celebrated last night.   We had a great time checking out some new places in Midtown and had some delicious food.    Thanks K for being designated driver so I could enjoy a few cocktails :)

...I plan to come back and provide more details about our night out....AFTER I take Smokey for his morning walk :)

..oops, I never came back to provide details....we had dinner at Sparrow, a delicious dinner for both of us!   The menu changes each day based on what the chef thinks looks good at the farmers market that day.  I had short ribs with espresso based sauce (sooo good), K had hanger steak, and we split a side of mashed potatoes.  the desserts sounded so good, but we were just so full...i also had a drink made with rhubarb!

Kitchen hardware

We are loving our new place and did a fairly easy project in January that we can enjoy EVERY day.    We put in kitchen hardware.    Some cabinets had hardware we didn't like and others had nothing at all.  We were hoping to complete the project over the holidays but to get what we wanted we had to order it online, of course.....it was worth the wait, having only 3 large drawers we wanted substantial handles for them, and we got that -- they are each 13" long!     I am glad we have only 3 drawers since the pulls with 2 holes are tough to install, lots of measuring and it has to be exact.

All in all we got them all installed in one day, and are so happy to have them.  It really improves the look of the kitchen and its so much easier to open the cabinets.....
