My toaster/oven arrived today! It is so cute! I think it will fit very nicely on my kitchen counter.
It's about half the size of my current toaster oven. It's taller than I thought it would be, but of course it has to be tall enough for the toast to fit vertically. It has a pretty small footprint, though. I'm not going to use it yet, but it will be in the first load I bring to The Palms. One nice surprise is that it has a baking pan. Like a miniature cookie sheet - so cute! Andy Baird commented that I should get a silicone baking sheet, cut it, and use it on top to cover the toaster slots when I'm baking. That will make the oven work better. I have one on order - thanks Andy! - I wanted a black one to match the appliances. I'm going to cut it in half, use half on top when I need it, and the other half I'll set the toaster/oven on so it won't slide. I can also use it on the "baking pan."
This is what my kitchen will look like:
I added graphics of my new coffee maker, toaster/oven,
and fake plates, cupcake and flowers.
Question: See the stickers on the stove hood? There are three "caution" stickers right there, and I wanted to remove them. I was told I should leave them so I'd remember what they say - the "caution" stuff. What have you done with this kind of thing? I'm thinking I'll take a close-up photo and paste them inside a nearby cupboard. I think keeping them there is like leaving the tag on your hat - like Minnie Pearl. What do you think?
I saw this on line - see the wall attachments? Even if just for my knives and a flower pot, I think I'm going to look into them. I don't know if they will work in my kitchen, but I sure like the way they look, and they would be space savers and keep things handy.
I'll at least hang a magnetic strip on the wall behind the stove for my knives.
After all this kitchen talk, I'm going to see what I've got for dinner.
From Me and My Dog, have a great Friday evening, everyone! : )
