What's cooking in kitchen design

Custom home builder Joe Vinson built a huge, fire-burning brick pizza oven in a client's gourmet kitchen several years ago. Did they like pizza? "I hope so; it was $20,000," he replied. Builder David Rowe's client loved to cook and spent years planning his dream kitchen. "We put seven faucets in the kitchen," Rowe said. "We put a 5-foot-long trough sink in the middle of the island with a faucet at each end. He had two vented hoods, one over a frying area and another over the cooktop." Kitchens are the center of home activity, according to builders and remodelers. The most requested remodeling projects are kitchens and bath, and such projects have the highest return when a house is sold, netting 50 percent to 75 percent of the investment, according to Consumer Reports magazine.

Kitchen garden

If the Isle of Anglesey, where I live, has particular merit for a gardener, it is that we are warmed by the Gulf Stream, giving us mild weather conducive to growing early vegetables. The drawback, however, is that the winds off the Irish Sea are usually considerable. In the back end of 2006 and for most of January, the weather has been pretty extreme. Only in the past few days have I been able to get on to the soil and do a little digging: until now, gale-force winds combined with incessant rain have been a major problem. In the night, the sound of breaking glass and flapping polythene torn from one of my polytunnels has woken me with a jolt. Whenever we have strong winds here, it is almost impossible to get a good night's sleep. .

Reid pledge on Home Office future

Home Secretary John Reid has said the national interest is more important than any politicians' ego in deciding whether to split the Home Office. He has suggested his troubled department be divided into separate justice and security ministries. Downing Street says it is a serious plan, while government sources say it could be completed within months. But Jonathan Baume of civil servants' union the First Division Association, warned against rushed changes. He said staff morale had been affected by the recent headlines and people were being pushed and pulled from one priority to the next. 'Difficult job' "The government really needs to just stand back and ask itself whether it's diverting sufficient resources in the round to the Home Office, to enable it to do the difficult job it's been asked to do," he said.
