How much can one family cook?
The house has been modernized quite a bit over the years. The most obvious change is the commercial restaurant kitchen downstairs. A series of very good restaurants have operated out of the ground floor for something like 30 years. That means we've got two kitchens: the gleaming stainless steel restaurant kitchen downstairs, and the "normal" personal kitchen on the second floor.
What's a couple to do? Should we have his and hers kitchens? Cook formal meals downstairs and nuke leftover pizza upstairs? Swap on even and odd days?
We might consider renting the downstairs facilities to the right person. (If you're interested, let us know.) Or we might gut it and return it to... a doctor's office? Er, probably not. How about a cool home theatre? Where did Victorians hang their plasma screens?
Jim: About twenty years ago there was a delightful tea room on Lighthouse Ave. near the Ice Cream shop. It was a wonderful place for full service tea, or "High Tea', with tea related gifts for sale along with their delicious fresh scones and lemon curd bars. I always thought the Hart Mansion would have been the perfect place, rather than the plain building, now a real estate office I believe. Mrs. Peterson was the proprieter, but she also had a tea room in S.F. and it was too much for her to manage both. The Tuck Box in Carmel used to have High Tea years ago, but perhaps now the Cypress Inn is the only one. We NEED one here in P.G. Do you know of anyone willing to do it?
