I think your midnight kitchen sounds like a much nicer way to face sleeplessness. Your kitchen looks particularly cozy and that granola has my mouth watering.<br />I was sorry to hear about the difficult start to your year. I hope February is kinder to you.<br />Thanks for sharing your recipes :).Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-56723883983631299032014-02-11T22:14:19.081-08:002014-02-11T22:14:19.081-08:00Hi Anna, Sharon asked me to reply.

The tub went unused for 4-5 months, but it started to peel in a year and a half. The sink needed to be redone twice, maybe three times before we installed it. The sink finish (about 6 years old) needs to be redone as it shows rusts spots and is peeling. When I have time, I'm going to strip it and redo it myself with over-the-counter products. We paid $400 each to have the sink and tub redone. Sharon will take photos and share the project here.<br />Husband JeffSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-67478113808762392512014-02-10T21:13:59.258-08:002014-02-10T21:13:59.258-08:00Hi Sharon, I've been enjoying your blog!

I'm sorry. I fall asleep with no problems but wake up super early (4 a.m) and can't fall back to sleep. So frustrating. I also tend to try to sort my problems out in my kitchen. Kneading bread dough or zesting citrus for recipes is a great way to burn off anxiety, frustration, anger and eating it is a great way to feel comforted. The snow is flying here in Nebraska and I'm cooking up a big pot of vegetable beef soup to warm our bones. Peace, love, and health to you, Sharon!<br />KristinaKristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786701630899891688noreply@blogger.com
