Rosie Hawthorne

Rosie Hawthorne Welcomes You.

In September, 2007, I started this blog as I began a much needed kitchen remodel. The original intention of my blog was to show how to maintain a certain level of kitchen savvy while having no kitchen and to show my readers what was actually involved in a kitchen remodel.

The remodel was over by November 2007.

And I continued the blog.

I have continued my blog because I love cooking and eating and I love sharing with you.

As Mr. Hawthorne has always said, "Every meal is a celebration of life."

As well it should be.

Thank you for reading.

Love always,
Rosie

P.S. The title of my blog, Kitchens Are Monkey Business,
comes from Sandra Lee of Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee, which is hands-down one of the funniest sitcoms on TV today. Sandra always refers to things like "cooking from scratch" as monkey business. "Jobs and family." Yep.
Monkey Business. "Drinking and driving."
All Monkey Business.

About Me

Rosie Hawthorne: I'm so hungry, I could eat a vegetarian. I'm more than happy to eat crow. It just better taste good.
