Wow! Many chapters for the biography. When I was little, we lived in a small house (built by my Dad) with a large basement kitchen/dining area. The pic of your kitchen brought back a lot of memories. Two ranges; I'm proud of you! You obviously like to entertain, too.
Hope your move and life-changes bring you new opportunities, new friends and a fresh start (no pun intended).
You'd like to be at my house for Sunday dinner, today. Pastitsio and Spanakopita, with a nice Greek salad and Souzoukakia Lemonata for the opening act. The house smells great. When I was in Mpls. last week I stopped at my favorite little Greek grocery, on Lake Street. A real Mom/Pop operation. Great cheeses, olives...in fact, great everything. We'll toast your Greekness and your move, Tog! In fact, I need to get going, I still have a table to set and I'm at T-45 and counting.
