from the extreme closeup of your subject, i suspect you are hiding piles of rubble that you dont want us to see. did you add the easter egg to this one yet?

:-) Our kitchen looks like that (clean) on average about 1 time every 2 months... maybe & it's all me btw.
:-) Alan - I need to get one of those smooth top ranges - ours just gets nastsy and it is such a pain to keep clean. Plus we have alot of cat traffic on our countertops in addition to our people messes. :-) :-) :-)

Well Vadster
The smooth top is not any easier to clean. all the splashes and overflows get cooked on the burner and you have to use a special cream to scrub it off. It takes some elbow grease to get burnt stuff off.

Alan,
I have a flat top range too. We scrape the big stuff off with a razor and then take the cream to it. Beats trying to keep the old coils and drip pans clean...

/That, and it is just cool looking.

Well, you are certainly welcome to visit and do you thing here......
No more cleaning lady.....
No more one more chance......
so Mr. Bachelor bought a new vacuum, and good old super clean..... not my favorite pass time, but really got tired of paying in advance, and then not having her show up, or when she did, only for 1/2 day, even though she was advanced a full days wages.
Last time I advanced her it was in December 05, and she showed up in March 06......
So am I right or wrong to can the poor single mother of three?
I found that I could actually polish my own wood floors in half the time it took her, that's with a bad heart, bad back, bad legs, and bad lungs. ( I will admit I don't look as cute in the little maids' outfit though!!!)..... :-) :-)
GI your kitchen looks great.... oh so neat.....
