Lucy's Kitchen

I love Lucille Ball!  I wonder how many half hours I spent as a kid watching Lucy and Ricky over and over again.Tomorrow marks what would have been the 100th birthday of legendary Lucille Ball.   “I Love Lucy: An American Legend” opened August 4 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the 1950’s comedy at the Library of Congress.  The Washington post came out today with a great article about the exhibit which runs through January 28, 2012.  Also to mark the star’s 100th birthday, August 6th, Life.com is releasing some never before seen photos showing the sultry side of Lucy.Back in the 50s Lucy spent a lot of time in the kitchen so naturally I decided to take a look at this important part of the set and site of so many (red) harebrained schemes.Looks like Lucy’s kitchen may have seen a remodel or two over the years.  I could not find any information about that but the photos show a change in door style as well as layout!  Lucy Gets a New Kitchen would have been a great episode!  Remember Seinfeld’s new kitchen adventure?  Hilarious and truer than we may want to admit. Jerry gets a new kitchen!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEZvWVlUY3E
