Day 8 without a kitchen

I broke down today and bought an electric stove top. You know, the kind with 2 eyes on top of a simple metal case. Well it has been 8 days without a kitchen (only the dishwasher made it) and the cold dinners finally got to me. Our only sink is in the guest bath. Can't even get the coffee pot under it to fill it in the morning. This is almost worse than camping! But tonight's tortellini was a real pleasure; next weekend it will be red beans and rice I have a feeling. We are still hoping to have it all done by the 25th.
