KITCHEN: Doing it her way

A wonderfully talented friend reports that she is in the midst of redoing the kitchen of her Dilworthtown home. Note my wording: she is not paying someone to do it, she's doing it herself. (Stands to reason, as she designed and built the place 30 years ago.)
I asked her what she was doing for meals while the kitchen was gutted -- was she eating a lot of takeout?
Surprisingly, not so much, she said. While clearing out her cabinets, she unearthed a lot of long-forgotten appliances like a rice cooker, an electric wok and a George Foreman grill. Along with a microwave, she said she is able to manage pretty well and has turned the living room into a serviceable temporary kitchen.
But washing dishes in the laundry room is getting really old, she said.
