kitchen


No matter where I take my guests, they seem to like my kitchen best. At least that's what I read on an old sampler. In the kitchen cupboard, you will find 25 stories to read while eating a midnight snack.
Note: All the stories in this room were written around the year 2000. I'm not sure of the exact date.
