I aspired to do much more than I actually did today. As usual. I made a couple of decisions that I think are good, so, clinging to that.

I didn't know the bottom bit of a gas oven was a warming drawer. I thought it was the broiler.

No drawers on any of my ovens. I have fake warming compartments on my superficially cast iron stove (which has an oven and is electric) but the design is for a wood stove and without heat going up the chimney the warming compartments do not actually warm. There is an extra door underneath the oven that is in the wall, but it just opens onto the floor of the closet. Because the oven is in what clearly used to be a coat closet. Former owners made some idiosyncratic choices when they redid the kitchen, to put it mildly.

In my experience, gas ovens have broilers underneath, not warming drawers. Can you use yours to proof bread dough, Tep? That would make me jealous.

AND I just had a friendly conversation with a neighbor in the elevator without going BLEEP BLORP. I am streets ahead.

I was proud of myself for just buying new throw pillows for the couch.

Well, earlier in the week I was failing at feeding myself, so celebrate those throw pillows, fuck yeah. I also spent all morning in bed reading Yuri!!! on Ice fan fiction.

I'm going to put the sheets back on my bed and then sit down with a library book.

Some have broilers, some having warming drawers, some have storage drawers. And near everybody in this argument (which is going down in more places than just Steph's (autocorrect: Stroh's), is acting like there is ONE TRUE OVEN DESIGN and making me crazy.

Ha! I'm amused that some of you found the post. I didn't realize he made it public.

And I'm the weirdo going "Look, ISTG our electric stove has a warming drawer...but we don't use it that way because storage is at a premium."

(autocorrect: Stroh's)

Which is "shorts" spelled backwards. (Thank you, college.)

There are days when sticking my head in the warming drawer of an electric oven would be very appealing, btw.

Happy (belated?) birthday, Andi! It is wonderful that you are in the world.

Tech-ma, erika.

Worried about omnis

Sigh. Same here.

I'm trying to promote the idea that providing me with a flamethrower would contribute to world peace which could benefit many. Others around me mentioned that it may be so because no one around would stay alive after I'll be given said flamethrower due to my awkwardination. It led to the following conversation today:

"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". "And if all you have is a flamethrower, everything looks like marshmallow".

"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". "And if all you have is a flamethrower, everything looks like marshmallow".

NATLBSB!
