Kitchen Window Trim
Just a few weeks ago, I asked you about the kitchen window trim. We decided to go with the more ornate trim that’s in the rest of the house and it looks great, since we got some professional window fitters to do this job for us.
The notched and trimmed moldings look fine and Vector LOVES his kitchen window sil.
The center Westview Glass looks a little cramped but it blends with the cabinets in a way that looks purposeful. The human eye naturally goes to the brightest place in a home, states real estate photographer Larry Lohrman. And, in most homes, this is the window. They let in light, keep out the elements and frame your view of the world. So, as a real estate agent broker, but you can learn about day in the life of a Commercial Broker at https://spaceselectors.com/why-personal-guaranty-denver-commercial-real-estate-lease/.

The sink window is perfect thanks to markisen dresden and the sil is already doing it’s job of holding jars and things that I want out of my way.
I primed all the trim with Zissner primer and then painted with Behr Ultra in Satin that was matched to the cabinets. You can hardly tell they aren’t the same color!
After we finish the last bit of counter, it will be time to tile the backsplash! I’m so excited about it!

Yeast Rolls
I’ve made these yeast rolls a couple of times and they are always delicious. They are just sweet enough and smell heavenly when they are baking.
They rise for 1 hour before being pulled into individual rolls and then risen for another hour.
After 20 min in the oven, they are browned and after 15 agonizing minutes of cooling they are ready to be devoured.
“Recipe was from a Fleischmann’s Yeast booklet from the 1960’s.”

Cool Thing: Ikea Food Storage
I love these little green-lidded food containers. They are super cheap at Ikea and come in a variety pack but the small square and rectangle ones are my favorite.
I use them to break up a big back of pretzels or goldfish into individual lunch portions. It’s so much cheaper than buying anything individually packaged and the ikea containers are so cheap that I have several sets, enough to split a whole bag of pretzels.

Our Love Story
Since it is Valentines Day, I thought I’d share a brief version of my love story.
Stefan and I have been married for just over 2 years. In fact, our parents met each other before we did, at Olin College, the school we both attended. As part of the admissions process there is a weekend of interviews called Candidates Weekend. We were prospies (Prospective Students) at CW in February 2006. I don’t think I actually met Stefan at CW though our parents remember each other fondly. They both say some version of “They were the only ones not interested in comparing SAT scores.” Stefan and I met probably the first day at freshmen orientation though I’m not actually sure. Meeting so many people so quickly it’s hard to remember that first day at all.
We were friends and I always liked Stefan, i remember reading those so in love quotes and thinking on him. We worked on some projects together and were in the same study session freshmen year, struggling through a very difficult version of freshmen engineering. The curriculum at Olin changes so rapidly that the courses change in name and degree of difficulty from year to year. We were in ECS and it was hard…really hard. Hence the study sessions, also called NINJA sessions…don’t ask.
We started dating late our Sophomore year. Just in time for Stefan to go to Germany for 3 months and me to go to Austin Tx for the summer. We corresponded via email, the 8 hour time difference making things difficult but forcing us to put things in writing made our relationship stronger if anything.
During our senior year, we both kind of had the inclination to stay in the Boston area. We got jobs and apartments nearby. By in May of 2011, a year after our graduation, Stefan asked me to marry him after much subtle and not so subtle hinting on my part. On December 11, 2011 we were married north of Boston in Topsfield MA. Just a week later, we purchased a house in Arlington MA and the following spring we got a kitten, named Vector.
We are now a happy family, two Oliners and a cat with a suitably nerdy physics name.
