Really enjoyed reading this.  And I continue as always with the notion...... just buy it!  Why mess up the kitchen?  Unless you're like the woman on the lake who is retired.  :)  Love the 6:06pm blog idea as well.  Unfortunately mine would be the same every day.  Dinner or homework...not exciting.  But I saw Todd mentions Hugh Laurie (Dr. House, you may recall, is my boyfriend) so now I may have to follow him as well.  Btw, what did you do with all the croissants after all that hard work?!
