tee hee, now I am picturing a sparkly throw down between ita and Edward.
Sorry Kat, I don't have a good rec. Our lady is so so, but then our house is a nightmare so I give her a pass. But if I really wanted the place clean? I'd find a new house cleaner.
I want to see you soon, and not just for the Nubar. But my weekends have been gnarly busy of late. phooey.
Yeah, still can't see "Nubar" without hearing, "Do the dance of Joy!"
It sounds more like a protein bar to me.
Just finished final project and take home final for class #3. I turn it in tomorrow morning and then I have one more final to write and I AM DONE.
Oy. There was good climbing and better beer tonight.
Dana: I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR. (Re: magic beans.)
Tomorrow there will be Goodwilling and furniture moving and maybe even taping before I go to the theater. I wish I had better audiobooks to listen to while working around the house: Pillars of the Earth is really kind of awful in this format, although I suspect it would be okay as a novel because I could skip/skim as necessary.
Man, I love Pillars of the Earth, and I just realized I left my copy on the shared bookshelf at my old office. Ah well. It is the kind of book I'll take breaks from, though, and read something quick.
Good morning, Natter! I woke up too early, but stayed in bed and read my book until I was too hungry to wait any more.
Any meat I'd want cooked on a grill I put in the broiler drawer. You just have to monitor carefully. Flames. Choose flames. It was good enough for your protohuman ancestors, it's good enough for you.
Broiler on top accomplishes the same thing without killing my back.
I have the top broiler and my stove is nothing special, so I don't think you should have to pay a premium, just find the right model.
It is nice having the greater flexibility w/r/t dish sizes, distance from flame, etc. And not having to tetris the pan into the drawer.
I've never seen a top broiler. In Wyoming we had a Jenn-Air range with a grill on top, which was awesome, but the broiler was still in the oven.
My favorite stove was a 1940s one in the apartment where Jake was born. Had a side compartment next to the oven for warming, and space for pan storage. Still worked perfectly.
