The kitchen was stainless steel, red brick, and dark but highly polished old oak. A kitchen built for a man who loved to cook. The hardwood floor of the kitchen was a blond-colored oak parquet glistening warmly underneath the soft yellow glow of indirect lighting. Brand new stainless steel pots and pans, a whole row of them, hung from a rectangular oak rack/light fixture above the built in bar to one side of the kitchen. There was a gigantic stainless steel chef’s oven shoved directly into the middle of a long counter top. On the counter top was just about every device invented by man which dealt with the preparation of food. But what set the kitchen off, what captured one’s attention immediately, was the gigantic double door refrigerator/freezer sitting beside the oven. Huge. Dominating.
