Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Happy Belated Birthday, Andi!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Since it's just the 2 of us, if we ever need to keep plates warm, they go in the oven, and the warming drawer continues to fulfill its role as storage.

No warming drawer. Just the oven set on 200.

I would love a proving drawer... or two ovens! And a whole new kitchen, while I'm at it.

Thrive to spite them

I hated having the broiler at the bottom. I had to kneel on the floor to get it anything in r out. And then figure out how to stand from kneeling while holding photo things

I dream of a pantry. We run out of cabinet space all the time.

This conversation reminds me I need to check if I have a drawer beneath my oven for storing the additional pots and pans currently taking up all my extra counter space.

In old gas ovens, where the pilot light stayed on all the time, the broiler could double as a warming drawer. Now that they have electric starters for safety purposes there's no residual heat waiting to be put to good use.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Look at bennett, with actual historical context and shit.

Today I'm angry at a non-tiny American woman. Variety is the spice of life, etc.

In the FB post I was talking about, one guy was genuinely confused about how electric ovens can have a warming drawer and asked "what is the source of heat when the oven is off." I deserve a cookie for not replying TURN THE OVEN ON, MOTHERFUCKER. (I said "I assume the oven has to be on." What the shit, guy. [This is the same guy who was genuinely confused as to how/why my arms could POSSIBLY be sore after lifting weights. For realsies. He wasn't trolling. I'm starting to think that Feral Boy from The Tick was based on him.])
