So that's the secret.  It makes sense.  Nice to have an underground kitchen 
for constant temperature too.  Anyone got a spade?

I guess it does, especially when one considers the original role of this room
was a root cellar.  When the house was renovated in the twenties it became the
kitchen and most of the large fireplace in the dining room was filled in
(rather well I might add, you can't tell how big it was originally).  This
kitchen is entirely too small, has very little counter space, and is crowded
with one person and a cat.

Given the choice, I would like an underground kitchen, nicer temperatures when
cooking in the summer.  But also given the choice, I'd like a larger kitchen. 
The one I have is much nicer than my parents' spacewise.
