They generally have a second sink in a wall counter, presumably for handling dirty dishes. :-D @Arbolamante: Your name sounds like a delicious preparation or sauce. :-D

A grill guard over one pan meant frying (or at least a vigorous sautee.) Red liquid in the other pan suggests tomato. That green cap looks like the top of an olive oil bottle. And those round brownish things on paper towels could be a lot of things, but eggplant seemed likely. A nice setup you have there. I built a the biggest island my kitchen could hold and put the stove right in the middle of it. Don't understand why anyone would put the sink there, but people do. Who wants dirty dishes in the middle of the kitchen? A setup like yours is party friendly. You do kitchen theater, talk to your guests on the other side of the island - who have easy access to help you stir and such. Love the blog, btw - just found it a few days ago.

Wow, spaghetti squash is a really tasty low carb substitute! Thank you for commenting! :-) @Padwar: As tasty as that sounds, no. Although Mr. Phae burned enough of those Eggplant strips that they were pretty similar to the texture and appearance of a fried batwing! @Andrige: Um ... no. That's weird, dude. Silly Swede. @Myze: So true. I'm still getting used to cooking over an open flame! It's much better than the old electric range I'm used to, though! @Beathooven: Ha ... maintaining that many pots IS quite similar, though a couple of those were just simmering at the time the photo was taken. And, while I didn't think moving was TOO stressful, Mr. Phae informs me that he thinks it was VERY stressful on me (and consequently, him). LOL @MakeLoveNotChopChop: You win for your name. And the boxes were ... mostly plastic. @Sydera: Thank you! :-) @Karthis: Awww .. ty for wanting to steal my Photoshop skills, although you'd be disappointed to discover they're actually Paint Shop Pro skills! @Josh: It really, really is. I find myself wanting to cook extra even after we've already eaten that day. That can't be a good thing! @Karine: We actually used a combination of low carb pasta and spaghetti squash (I had the former since we had it on hand, and Mr. Phae had the latter).
