(I totally got up on top of MonsterFridge.) So, this is done, and I love it. It’s a subtle change–especially in the photos. But you wouldn’t believe how much *cleaner* the kitchen looks. More intentional somehow. Plus, there is none of this gross nonsense. Sorta hard to photograph, but this was a pretty dingy kitchen. [...]
Ok! So apparently, people do comment on my posts. I was feeling a bit unloved because I had received zero comments on my last two posts.

After yesterday’s Very Academic Post, today’s is about booze. You’re welcome. It started with a little wine. Then, with a gifted bottle of tequila, our liquor storage branched into a tiny cabinet next to the kitchen sink.
