A new addition to the kitchen
OK, maybe I’m spoiling myself just a little. First, it’s a brand new latex mattress. Now, it’s a new range for our kitchen. No worries - I’ve been saving up for these purchases for a while; I’m not going into debt or taking out a second mortgage. We needed a couple of new appliances - first, our stove. It’s about eight years old, and is just about as basic as you get - a true ‘builder special’. Its time is up, soon to be replaced by this beauty:

This is a Jenn-Air 30″ Double Oven Freestanding Electric Range with Convection, model number JER8895BAS. This little cooking dynamo will be such a huge step up from our basic GE, four-coil, non-convection dinosaur.
I can’t wait to get roasting, baking, boiling, broiling, sauteeing, brazing, searing, toasting (yes, that top oven can be a toaster!)…well, you get the idea.
I’ll write more once I have it installed and I get a chance to put it through some culinary paces.
Can you tell that I take my cooking really seriously? Stay tuned!
