Coffee area. It has an outlet and a filtered water filler. Originally planned to put the microwave on the shelf, but decided to put it in the pantry to the left. There were also going to be doors on it that folded back in on the sides, but we decided they were more trouble than they were worth so we left it open. It does have under cabinet lighting that's not turned on in that pic. Here are two pics from the night before after the lighting was finished up.
Lol, it'll be nice to not have to cook out of a microwave and Instapot anymore. I assume my kids request will be frozen chicken nuggets or a frozen pizza tonight.
If TCU and USC both lose we get the same old Big 10 SEC bullshit we get every year less Clemson. Not sure why anyone would want that scenario. It's bad for the sport regardless of what the media would have us believe.
Interesting to see the positive comments on Tulsa. I grew up close by and always thought it would be a nice place to live if you wanted a city, but not the bullshit that comes with big cities. It's much better now than it was when I lived in the area. There are some really cool older neighborhoods with unique homes that are reasonably affordable.
It was a joke that we were ranked again last week and we proved that out laying another turd against the worst OU team in recent memory. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Probably not the solution you want, but when the Wifi crapped out on one of our old TVs we used the newer Chromecast with Google TV. It's the best interface in my opinion and is what came on our Sony OLED. Not a bad option for $30 or whatever they cost now. That's actually what we do on another older TV as well just because it's better than the outdated native apps. The kids don't know the difference.
In general I don't think gifts should be exchanged among adults. Just bring a nice bottle of booze or some food and leave the gifts for the kids. For kids, wrapping gifts and watching them tear into them is great though.
