I should have been COOKING fifty years ago instead of born then.


I'm so tired of my stupid electronic oven. The electronics stop working and then dinner is a non-event. The timer panel went out on and I had to hit it with my fist for it to work again. And again. And again. The family all knew Dad was preparing dinner because of all the yelling and pounding that could be heard from our very small kitchen.
Not any more. I'm so done with "modern electronic ovens". This is my sweet new oven. A 1950's era Wedgewood. Beautiful white and missing two easily purchased knobs. A nice center griddle for cooking bacon and eggs or pancakes. Very important to have a working stove as my boys all know how to cook now and frequently just go into the kitchen and make something themselves.
