  Thyme For Cooking, the Blog — Authority: 109
  Its amazing how excited one can get over having a hall finished.... But, there you have it! And its not even completely finished.... You may notice that 3 of the 4 doors still have their green trim and the opening into the kitchen is almost, but not quite, finished. Still.... May I present: Our stairs. ...

  I spent yesterday moving furniture into the hall. I spent today unpacking my cook books. Then I took photos. Ill post them tomorrow.  But, first, a wee trip down memory lane. In order to appreciate where we are, it helps to see where weve been.... When we bought the house, the original hall had been divided in ...

  Thyme For Cooking, the Blog — Authority: 119
  Last July, when we decided it was time to order the stairs, we called 2 people for proposals. One was a local craftsman who would hand-make them to our specifications.  Weve seen his work; they would have been gorgeous.  They also would have been slightly more expensive and he couldnt do it until January. The ...

• Pork Tenderloin with Potatoes, Apples and Carrots; The Furnace, part deux

  
  Thyme For Cooking, the Blog — Authority: 119
  Everything that happens, chez nous, seems to happen in installments. Nothing can ever be straightforward and simple. After my proud, and somewhat smug, announcement of getting our boiler / furnace working, it promptly stopped. I noticed right off that something was wrong. 90 seconds into my shower, roughly 30 ...

  Our workers arrived Wednesday morning, 8am sharp (white van). About 10 minutes later the stairs arrived (blue truck). Naturally, the first order of business was to stand around for 15 minutes or so and catch up on the news.   It turns out that the guy who brought the stairs, (white hair, nearest the truck) had ...

  Victorian Antiquities and Design — Authority: 124
  W hen we think of "House Flipping" we instantly picture those "Get rich quick in Real Estate" infomercials. Where some slick real estate guy is talking about how you are going to make millions in Real Estate, by buying low and selling high. As anyone familiar with Urban neighborhoods knows, that doesnt just happen". ...

  I n Cincinnati there are a few options to find that doorknob, or fence final or missing mantle and youve probably been to all of them. If you "have a afternoon, or a day" to spare, it it well worth your time to go to White River Salvage in Indianapolis. Even if you are not an "old house person", it is just a fun ...

  Thyme For Cooking, the Blog — Authority: 119
  Remember a week or two ago when I said we were waiting for September so our stairs would be installed? After calling the installers several times over the past few weeks..... And never hearing a word back from anyone..... September arrived, without warning, Tuesday afternoon at 4:30. The workers and equipment ...

• Mushroom and Butternut Squash Risotto; Getting ready for winter

  
  Thyme For Cooking, the Blog — Authority: 119
  The weather turned cool last week, unseasonably early for us.  We even had a frost! The days were still sunny and warm, which sent us outside to finish getting ready for winter. In another words, other than getting the boiler (furnace) functioning and the radiators hooked up there was no progress inside this week. ...

  Thyme For Cooking, the Blog — Authority: 119
  We have heat in our house. Oh, happy day! Weve had our wood stove, which does a wonderful job of heating the kitchen, since last winter. There was a boiler in the house when we bought it, but we assumed it was old and decrepit. We were wrong. When the guy cleaned our chimneys this summer he also cleaned the ...
