That looks exactly like the stove we bought. I can't tell exactly because I can't see the burners. We got one with 4 round burners and a long center "griddle" burner.

I love that stove!

(Except the burner grates have rubber bumpers on their bottoms to prevent scratching and some of them fell out and disappeared. Cost $11 to get a package of them...)

What is it with you north americans and the dark colonial style cabinets? This is 2015.

I went with hickory on mine. I like the character of the wood.

I'm curious to see what cabinetry fashion is the rage in Finland!

This is from a weekend last fall. Cooked up the freshest kokanee salmon you can get. Here are pics from start to finish. Sort of a "grain to glass" for my food. Now how many people know where the food they eat comes from at this level? Also, the carrots and potatos came from my garden, and a nice glass of barrel aged oat stout to compliment everything.

Not sure why the pics downloaded backwards, lol

Just sayin' man, it ain't the dark wood with simplified king louis lines. Not trying to shame anybody, but just surprised that most of you still go for that dark, curvy stuff.

 

[Homercidal]

I'm just busting your balls a bit. We have light oak cabinets and I can't honestly recall the 'lines' but I bet it's probably the standard arched design.

Modern designs generally mean an upgrade in materials and price.

[banesong]

Sorry, but it has been 6 months since this thread has been resurrected and its too much of a gem for @CreamyGoodness to live down.

And the highlight of the thread, the tasting video for those who dont want to read the whole thread.

Oh, my.... That has been sub'd for future perusal.

 

[vanishingpint]

Oh yeah ;those look like my cabinets .Are we not keeping up with the rest of the world? Oh well.

 

[mattmmille]

I prefer a honey to medium color oak cabinets, personally; however, we downsized a few years back and my cabinets are darker than Melana's...haven't remodeled yet. Honestly, I'm surprised when I see ultra expensive houses with kitchens that are either all white (cleaning nightmare) or the cabinetry is dark walnut or cherry. I would love a kitchen fitted with Ikea cabinets, because I love the doors and drawers that have the gentle closure hardware. But I do NOT want the ultra "modern" Swedish light wood cabinets.

 

[passedpawn]

I love the doors and drawers that have the gentle closure hardware.

You can buy the hardware to do that and add it yourself. I did. I added it to all the drawers in my kitchen. The small towel drawers near my sink only needed one of them, larger drawers 2. Bought from www.wwhardware.com. Manuf is Blum, their trademark is blumotion for the soft closure feature.

What the hell is happening in here???

We were overdue for going off topic. At least it's not economics....

Haven't had Haluski in years!

I keep promising wife that I'd make it one of these days. Thanks for the reminder

Got my tortilla press the other day and got some masa harina last night, but had to work at mom's house so I stopped by Crankers Brewery after my dental appt. and had an order of nachos and a beer.

I don't know when I'll have time to cook again. Apparently I have drywall to mud and sand now. Hopefully that will get done this weekend, but I'm alway smore ambitious BEFORE I start, than I am once I get started. Sanding drywall SUCKS!

True. You think you have it then wash down the dust and realize how much more work there is. At least the beer is always two or three times better while doing that kind of work!

I agree.

But this is at my mom's/sister's house, and they are baptist, which means they tolerate my drinking beer at MY house, not so much at THEIR house...

Best I can hope for is to slap the dust off me, drive the 4 blocks back to my house fast as I can and take a quick shower with the beer sitting on the bathroom sink next to the shower.

My trick for drywall is to turn the lights off and shine a flashlight across the wall. That REALLY makes the imperfections stand out!

Then dont sand it. Use a damp sponge. It will whipe off the excess mud, and leave it nice and smooth. No dust, its easier on your hands and arms, and goes faster.

Terek is making me wish for warmer weather, i'd be an icicle if i went fishing in the boat now.

I mostly get northern pike and perch in the lake here.

 

[Kharnynb]

ps. finnish cabinets, either whatever was cheapest at ikea if they own the place, or whatever the building had when it was built if it is rental...

90% of rental places we saw when i first moved to Helsinki still had 1970's white vinyl on chipboard..

I was in the mood for something that I could cook really quickly, so I stopped at the Mexican grocery store because I knew that, in the butcher case, they have raw chicken breast strips soaking in a spicy marinade with peppers and onions. I sauteed that up with some more peppers and onions and put it in tortillas, and it was really good! And fast! And cheap!

My butcher has chicken and pork souvlaki skewers for $2.50 a stick that have been marinating since the morning usually. Two of those, a little salad and a bit of white or yellow rice (or rice a roni, shhhhh) and you got a pretty stellar cheap and quick meal.
