Today was the big switch over from the regular summer season of life on the 1900 farm to the winter dinners/enrichment season. Every room gets cleaned ceiling to floor, inside and outside of all the furniture. Oil lamps are cleaned and filled and set in place. The kitchen is scoured and emptied in anticipation of being filled with the beginnings of amazing food. All the dishes get washed and put in just the right spot on the shelf in the pantry. The cookstove gets a new coat of black and we polish all its nickel. The outcome is fresh and pretty and very very hopeful.
Anything can happen in a kitchen that clean. When a stove shines like that, it must, in fact, be a little bit magical.
