We're building a new home. I'd like some suggestions
on making my "dream kitchen" efficient and enjoyable
to work in. I love to cook and we have a household
of 6 (4 pre-schoolers).  I'd appreciate any suggestions
on anything that comes to mind, although I do have a
few specific questions:

	1) Do people who have islands with barstools
	around it actually use it for breakfast, etc.?
	Anyone have an island with a butcher-block top?
	How do you like it?

	2) We're considering putting in a Jenn-aire. What are
	the pro's and con's of putting it on the counter as
	opposed to on an island?

	3) Does a self cleaning oven make a difference?

	4) Where would one put a trash compacter? Is a
	compacter a novelty or is it really nice to have?


	Thanks,

	mle (esposa de mikei)

(I'd like my kitchen to be as efficient as those twits at McD's (-:))
