There are other patches of white tile above other counter tops, but this is the largest patch.
There are still plenty of little things to finish inside, and some big things outside like stucco, bricks, patio stones, and plantings. But getting the white tile in was a big deal to me because we couldn't wax the soapstone and make it black until the tile was in, so we couldn't see what the counters were really going to look like until today.
To make up for the lack of food literature in my recent book diet, I've been reading about cookbooks. I have my heart set on getting a copy of the Toro Bravo cookbook by Liz Crain. It doesn't come out until October, but it is generating a lot of foodie buzz already. The more I read about it, the more I want it!
The Toro Bravo restaurant is already a Portland legend. I can't wait to try some of Chef John Gorham's recipes at home -- while reading his terrific stories as told by Liz Crain, one of the best up and coming food writers around. All good.
