things I should have but dont

A working oven. Mine is good for slow roasting or for charring, but nothing in the middle. I so miss holiday baking, and making bread!

Oh, and a saucepan. I had a lovely four quart Revereware saucepan and lid, but I forgot it was on the fire the day the guy came back and trimmed our trees and now it's charred too, well beyond redemption. Sheesh.

A firmer ass.

I agree on the oven. mine is a wall oven from maybe 1973? It scares me.

I could also use a maid.

Sorry for the derail, folks...

Bit - the oven might be a simple fix. Ours was fritzy until the lower element caught fire one day (luckily we were in the kitchen when it happened). Bought the replacement element online for less than $20 and it was an easy replacement - couple screws. I think we still need to replace the upper element, but am holding off in hopes of a new macdaddy gas range for our Christmas prezzie!

{{{{{{{{{{{Christie}}}}}}}}}} The repair guy said it was definitely the thermostat; he was going to replace it, but then he couldn't get one becuase it's so old that they discontinued making the parts.

BUT... I have been looking into Nesco ovens. Amazon has one for $70. I just need to find out if I can actually bake cookies in one before I add it to the ever-growing wish list.

Hey Bit a bunch of years ago I used to have one like the Nesco oven and it worked great. You can bake and roast in them but at first it's a bit of trial and error on the timings as they cook faster than a regular oven. I recommend getting the "extender rings" as they allow you to cook much bigger items.

Should have had the internship changed when I knew that it wasn't going to work out, now I have to write for an extension and hope they give me to me. Well I have the shingles too so I wouldn't be able to work anyway!!
