I am very disappointed that I can't seem to make the steel cut oats so well on my electric stove. I don't know if it's this range that's weird, but I've never had such culture shock adjusting from one to the other before. I'm having to cook stuff very differently to avoid burning and overflowing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

yeah, it's difficult. gas rawks. the last time I switched, I had to wean myself by having two burners on at once, and moving the pot back and forth.

Electric stoves are proof that the devil is alive and active and prince of this world.
I miss my gas stove so very much.

Cooking on gas is better, but I do sort of like my sealed top electric range for cleaning.

What is this cleaning of which you post?

ita, it might also be the pot you cook it in, we use a small Le Creuset pan for our steel cut oats and the cast iron regulates/distributes the heat a little better.
Mmm, steel cut oatmeal. Maybe I'll pick up some buttermilk and ask Tom to do some up this weekend.

I am one of those people who doesn't notice a big difference. We had electric growing up, I've had gas and electric on myown. I think my parents have gas now, but I'm not sure. The flat top Jenn-aire is what I learned to cook on.

You know, where you wet a paper towel and just wipe off the top of the stove.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Gud made me feel better this morning. That is the kind of stuff dreams are made of.
We didn't watch Prime Time teevee last night. DH got home late from a business trip to Des Moines so the boy and I sat on the sofa and watched Toy Story. I keep forgetting the Joss has writing credit for that.
I can see him writing the bit where Mr. Potato Head pulls off his lips and touches his butt to mock an ass-kissing toy.

I can't even.
Timelies, also gronk. Looks like I need the coffee IV rolled into my office again. That should be a service you can call, like Grocery Gateway or the paper shredder people. They roll into your office and plug you in and the gronky clouds roll back for a while.
My paper this morning had a picture of Donald Rumsfeld posing with Spider-Man and Captain America, which is wrong on sooooo many levels.
I like to think of it as them apprehending him. With the blood and torture on his hands, ScummyRummy counts as a supervillain in my books.
Friday, how I've missed thee.
