Fighting cabin fever

During the winter, Steve still needs things to do.  It's actually nice because we have time inside to focus on the house.  In the summer, we aren't really in it enough to spend time reorganizing and redecorating.  So, we got a new shelf to organize all of our goods.

All of our tomatoes from this year, some homemade sauerkraut, and some pickled grape leaves.

Our dried goods section, herbs and teas, beans, and some more canned goods.

This Hoosier cabinet was my Valentine's Day present 2 years ago and has really been great storage space since we have no pantry.  And sitting on top are a couple beers from Rockmill Brewery.  We went for a taste testing on Thursday, and the Belgian style beer was so amazing we had to bring more home with us.  We also discovered that good beer isn't served ice cold, that's just what the crappy tasting beer wants you to believe.  That way, you just taste cold instead of the flavor of their beer.  So, this good beer is served chilled, like a good bottle of wine. 

Bread from our baker friend at Lucky Cat Bakery.  His stuff is amazing!  This is his famous Focaccia, and his new Multigrain Rye Sourdough which is 90% organic and super yummy!  (The only things not organic are the local honey in it and the rye chops, which is like an oatmeal sort of mixture that helps the rye flour rise).  Ultimately, the best bread around!

After the kitchen reorganizing, we moved to the spare bedroom, and there is a floor... yay!
