Trip to Home Depot

My husband was not expecting that our trip to Home Depot was going to turn into a kitchen shopping adventure. And, I don't think he would use that word to describe it either. Earlier this week I watched dozens of videos on croissant making and almost all of them had a pastry marble board for kneading their doughs. Julia Child had convinced me that without one, my croissant baking dreams would be unreachable. So, I looked some up and soon realized I could only afford marble tiles, which run about 1.50 to 15.00 dollars/square foot. My budget was at the lower end of that spectrum and my slab of marble cost 2.97! I was pretty psyched. It's a little smaller than I would have wanted but for now I am sure it will do just fine.

I have also been looking for a storage unit to go under my kitchen counter with all the baking pans and cupcake molds I own. Just this week I got some sweet cake pans from DI. They were overcrowding the kitchen counter, and if their is one thing I cannot stand in the kitchen it is clutter. It was completely unexpected but as we walked through the storage aisle and found a unit that was the perfect size (and price). This was not how Zac thought our wedding gift card to Home Depot would be spent. He loves building things and I am sure he was expecting this trip to be a testosterone building experience. It was not at all, and like the wonderful husband he is, he was okay with that. This picture may say other wise, but trust me, that pout on his face just shows how excited he is to assemble my new kitchen unit.

My excitement was expressed a little differently...

A few more hours researching croissants and I will make an attempt at it.
