Welcome to the 82nd round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! From looking at the entries this week, I think that the kitchen is a place of good food and memories for each of you!
I like the variety that you presented in your posts, as we get to see old kitchens, new kitchens, old ways of doing things, great stories and some fantastic food!! But most of all, your posts were all fun to read and see, as it is clear that you put your creative thoughts into them!
Thank you all for great posts!
Let’s go back in time a bit for this kitchen…

This image is from this year’s vacation in Italy, at the stunning excavations at Ostia Antica. We’re looking at the Bar and Kitchen of Diana, where many a good meal and drink was served in antiquity. One can feel the atmosphere of the location and be absorbed by the laughter and great cheer that permeates the very bricks and tile at Diana’s!

Ah, my kitchen then (well it has got my name all over it!) but you can have the bar Frank, I don’t drink!
It’s one of the earliest juice bars! You might find a drink to your health 🙂
Cheers! 🙂

Thank you!
Great gathering of photos, Frank. Cool to see how Morpethroad brought life to your sink, and the strawberry art by iball? fantastic! Thanks for including me as well.
Thank you! Yes, everyone did a fantastic job on their entries.
Frank what a wonderful set of contributions! You’re right, they were really fun and happy. I smiled a lot, which I really needed this evening. 🙂 Thanks for the lift-me-up, and also for your amazing shot of Diana’s kitchen. God bless Italy. Love, Debbie
