Yep. Looked at the tamale page, and it appears the kitchen 'growed.'

Just spent a fair amount of time on it this morning. :-) In addition
to my first visit. remodel -- it's probably too late (and too
early) now, but for us non-construction types, Before and After pics
of rooms and features would be awfully interesting. Particularly in

Formica.)
