We did it. We went for broke and gutted our house — while living in it. I know, I know: we were warned. Six months of washing dishes in a storage tub with the garden hose (sadly, I am not joking…), half-installed floors, a smattering of working light switches, and the ever-present troupe of contractors has the upcoming holidays seeming even more daunting.
With step-daughter Madeleine flying in for the week, I would have loved to have our new kitchen installed in time to cook up a gourmet’s feast, served atop a beautifully dressed table, using our finest china, and savouring it all. But it just isn’t going to happen. Rather, we’ll be squatting on paint cans, balancing paper plates of take-away (still having a good time, thanks to the company). So, in that frame of mind, I thought I’d look at some innovative take-away food packaging design. Because, hey, if I can’t have the gorgeous kitchen in time, I’d at least like the best looking indoor picnic I can muster.
