"Dorothy, I hope you get your stove fixed before the upcoming family visit." I hope so also. I find it awkward, at best, trying to cook a meal with the microwave and the "new", improved, toaster oven. I overcooked the chicken in the T-O and is is a mite hard. It took forever to cook a large quantity of veggies in the microw. Corn on the cob does admirably; I shall switch to that mode permanently for corn. Porridge is perfect; poached eggs - getting the hang of it. We are getting fed...

I wonder if anyone has thoughts on the toaster oven large enough to do a chicken - B&D 9 slice one with rotisserie versus a convection/air fry/microwave that would also do a whole chicken???? No, I don't roast a chicken often but would like to be able to. It would be nice not to have two separate items cluttering the K; there is very little counter space. We also have a very nice but separate toaster that R prefers for his toast. Ok for bagels also. I have two web sites up on computer, trying to make a decision. NOT going to any thrift shops. An old house with brick walls that we are loathe to put holes in complicates electric outlet additions.

R's cousin is willing to lend us a spare stove of the ordinary sort which will fill the hole left when the Jennair (SADLY!) leaves. With any luck it could happen this week - the carcass of Jenair with all its magical tech stuff will leave and the white stove arrive AND the @#$%^ UGLY desk leave the guest room! The rest of the house needs mere cleaning!

Is it cluttering or de-cluttering to get a wall cabinet for R's tea pot collection!?? We may get to look at one I found on Marketplace, right here in town, in the next few days.

Green with envy at Charmion's fresh peaches!! No peach orchards nearby!
