When our new bisque stove was delivered, the delivery guy was quick to point out (in the driveway!) that it was in fact bisque and not white. So we have 2 appliances that are almond (12 years old) and 2 that are bisque (3 years old). I hate that the appliance companies changed colors on me! It really is noticeable.

And if you never noticed before, what does it matter? When we redid the bathroom we kept the tub & stool but got a new pedestal sink and a tub surround for shower. The packaging said "white" but the surround looks more almond to me and the sink isn't a white white either. The white wall covering looks almost like a real light misty gray-ish color, the paint on the window trim & door look sort of creamy. I just prefer to think of it as a really fancy monochromatic decorating scheme. I don't know how on earth anyone gets everything in a room to match perfectly. For a splash of color I painted the ceiling a sage green. With all the shades of white, I think I could put just about any curtains or towels in there & it wouldn't look too bad. I'll keep telling myself that anyway. LOL Sometimes white yellows a bit and depending on the light might almost look almond. And if you never noticed before, what does it matter?

Just don't like white--reminds me of "old timey"; guess that's becuz I am old. Almond is such a softer color and goes with most other colors. White to me looks so clinical. Just hope appliances don't go back to the avacado green..wasn't my fav. Just noticed at appliance store when we were picking out a new clothes dryer there's lots of deep colors like red, turquoise, gray on the market. I got a white one to match washer since both are in basement. By the way, my old electric dryer lasted 40 years, was a Sears-Kenmore brand made by Whirlpool; only repair was one belt that was replaced 36 years ago when we moved to our current house. Bought a Whirlpool as know my daughter has had good luck with hers. Her kids constantly overload the dryer..something I don't do as I separate bath towels, jeans etc, from faster drying items. Seems the young folks these days are in such a hurry that they haven't time to sort like I do. Sure hope by time I need to replace kitchen appliances almond will be back in vogue.

They all sound so good and it's because of your prodding several months ago that I finally tried the artesan bread recipe! Like some others, I'm waiting for the Iowa Chowder and other recipes. THanks for all you do..I love reading your blog. Judy are you going to combine the recipes from your “recipes tried and true” link with the Lime Green Kichen recipes?
