Coffee or tea? welcome to my kitchen

Before Cannella came out in vacations she left a meme for us. It was to put a picture of our kitchens, the place that we pass good part of our time cooking.

My kitchen is not big, but for me it is ideal, although in these months in that she can have an improvement, I am thinking in to retire the galleries approximately and to leave the right roof and make an island. Nina also left me a meme in what concerns to would have to write the first sentences of the first book in having at hand.

"One that I could make" in the most insecure way that her get and that was any heap to be that “Is a cook book " and soon later "Would to be, of course, full of life stories” and she kept the promise.
