Sunday we have a fund-raiser brunch thing for the youth group at church, so I'll be in the kitchen most of the morning for that.

I need to find a church for us.... there aren't any of our denomination around

Sounds busy.

This stove thing is really giving me a headache. He's printed out about 50 pages of information on-line, and sent me out scouting the local stores. I just want a stove that works. *sigh*

I've been doing that all week, just going about my business as usual.... it didn't work

I'm still optimistic.
It's early in the day.
Maybe it will work for me.

Oh dear.
This is how George would do it:
*Walks into nearest appliance store.
Finds cheapest stove.
Says to me "This will do for now."
Pays for stove.*

We have more "This will do for now" stuff in our house than you'd ever believe.

EDIT:
Maybe I shouldn't say cheapest.
George isn't cheap.
Maybe he'd pick the second cheapest.

We totally renovated the kitchen out 14 years ago, but he didn't want to replace the stove then, since it was still working (never mind that it didn't match anything else and was at least 20 years old then!). Every year he promises that we'll replace it soon. It's got to the point that the burners wobble so much that you don't need to stir anymore, and it takes them forever to heat up (we've replaced all the burners at least once).

Cheap is Dave's middle name! :lol: :lol:

"For the time being" has been George's motto all our married life.

Now I'm thinking George and Dave are twins separated at birth.

Scarey, isn't it?

Nemo14 · Mar 25, 2006

Anyway, does anyone know anything about convection ovens?

Nemo14 · Mar 25, 2006

I'm assuming Connor's over playing with his orphan friends. :lol:

MommytoMJM · Mar 25, 2006

I don't know anything about ovens at all... we've always lived in rentals that had them. The stove in this apartment is new and the nicest I have ever had...

Cute Kid moment:

MJ just had me swaddle her in the baby blanket I made for her and then had me swaddle Terk in the baby doll blanket I made for her... Gotta get the cord out and download the pics so everyone can see.

Nemo14 · Mar 25, 2006

I definitely want the radiant burners, but yesterday I also saw one that has a convection oven that will automatically convert your recipe times and everything. It was pretty neat!

When DS was little, he was the king of costumes. He also had a Cabbage Patch boy doll (don't ask!) that I had to make matching outfits for. They had StarTrek, Chefs, cowboys, you name it!

Got to get to work! Have a good day all!:wave:

Dot, darlin', you are SINGING MY SONG...

Still up to our necks in plumbing hassles, and no end in sight, because DH is too stubborn (OK, and too cheap) to hire a professional. "This will do for now" is the first verse; "This will hold it for a little while" is the second.

Speaking of "still," I really don't feel all that much better yet. I need a week out of this mess!
