Gas is the only way to cook (right).
While I'll admit it made for good stovetop cooking, my gas oven at the last place was all but useless and I was constantly a little twitchy about the dangers thanks to a Bunsen burner explosion in college.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I went back and reread and am still somewhat confused, but I'm going on the record as agreeing that cooking elves would be of the good.
Me: "Why aren't we a family that got a house elf?"
Dad: "That part of the family disowned us. Plus we moved, so your acceptance letter for Hogwarts got to us a couple years late."
Not to dis Pete, but your DAD just set a pretty high bar for adorable.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I covet magnetic induction stoves like whoa. But I love my gas stove (and seriously, woodstove) in the meanwhile. I've got the kettle on the boil on the woodstove right now and it's fucking great.
All of my recent (expensive!) pots & pans purchases have been with the intent of being able to use them if we're eventually able to go to induction. Which has led to some sitcom level comedy wherein I march into discount kitchen stores with a magnet and open boxes. But seriously, man, that's a lot of money. I want them to work forevah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Words with Friends wouldn't let me play "slut." I'm a bit offended.

Also, Typo, I would err to the higher title, so I'd probably say Dr.

Oh, not a dis on Pete at all. My Dad is pretty much the gold standard for wacky & adorable. And he raised me to be his revenge upon the world!

If Dr. Steiglitz is American, go with Dr. If he's not, it's more complicated.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is a reasonable rule of thumb. In America anyone can open a university and declare a whole new group of folks "professors," so the academic qualification is more important than the job title. In many European countries the number of Professors is fixed by law, and you have to have a long successful career to obtain a position with that title. In that case the position is more presigious than the academic qualification.
