I *really* want one of these. I was lucky enough that when we moved, I made the switch from electric to gas. I much prefer cooking on a gas stove. However, the stove in the new Kitchen is probably 11 years old (same as our house). It shows visible signs of wear and tear but still works perfectly, so I can’t find an excuse to buy a new one.
That said, I bet suitNtie would faint at the price of this cooktop, anyway. Perhaps when we do a kitchen facelift? A girl can dream.
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.

oh, definitely have the pot filler above the stove…oh, the luxury of not lugging a pot across the kitchen. Someday!
