On That Note: Custom Kitchen Deliveries

Toadies - Tyler

I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer

I can't believe I'm really here,
and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!
I stumble in the hallway, against the bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door
I will be with her tonight!
 
Look who has the fancy house with the separate quarters for the laundry operation to be handled out of sight. I kid, I kid.

Reality is that in Colorado (where I live), especially in the mountains ski resorts, the washer/dryer is often connected in the kitchen.
I think some of you are losing sight of what a kitchen appliance is, lol.

Growing up we had a huge older house, and the washing machine WAS in the kitchen. (The dryer wasn't. It was outside, wires mounted between two poles. Or inside in the basement when it was winter.)
Interesting! Our dryer was in the kitchen, our washing machine in the entry-way with water heater and softener! I think dryer happened to fit more conveniently in kitchen. It was next to the fridge, and since it didn't require water hook-up, probably why it was separate from washer.

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me


For you young peeps, that's the coffee maker before everyone got drip-brew makers like Mr. Coffee in the 1970's.

Wow, look at you with a dryer and fancy softener! Richie Rich!

It's fascinating things that seemed "just the way it is" at the time, and looking back, we might wonder how it was possible to function that way.

Hey, at least you had a basement. :) We had a cellar. Door on the floor in corner of the kitchen. The "business desk" was atop, so if a storm was coming, mom & dad had to push it to the side, so we could enter.

Note: I'm needling you and not trying to "one-up." :cool:

A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train
Carrying sheet metal and household appliances through the pouring rain
 
Heh!

We also had a Singer "pedal" sewing machine in our small, enclosed porch connected to the living room (where our heat stoves were located ... no furnace!).

Top that! ;) :D
We had a fancy smancy one with a motor.

And a wood furnace, that my father converted into a coal stoker furnace. Anyone who knows what that is knows what it was like when the stoker got too low. (Or anyone who watched A Christmas Story; the house filled with coal dust smoke. It's a wonder we're not all dead from lung cancer.)
