My dream kitchen starts with a huge range, four ovens - 1 standard electric,
1 gas, 1 convection, and 1 of a period construction so Bear can do some of
the experiments he's dreamed of, walk in refrigerator, freezer, dry food
storage and equipment storage, several sinks in various locations,
commercial dish washer, that marble slab with a cooling element under it,
and an office area with very large bookshelves, a couple of computer work
stations, and last but not least a trash compactor. All of this would be
attached to a dining room where we could seat 60 of our closest friends.
There would be a lot of counter space, enough so that Bear could hold hands
on cooking classes. I'd like an ice maker and a commercial size mixer, and
out side the door, an herb garden complete with a gardener who can get
things to grow. Oh yes, almost forgot a hot tub for afterwards. Margarite
