It's cheaper to just buy Chinese around here...we have a couple of really good places...

not the case here.  The only passable resturant less than 20 miles from here is a Mexican and it passes by just a sliver.  This is why I learned (am learning) to cook.

Another BIG salad here.  The one last night was so tasty I need a repeat.  With roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, and spicy banana peppers, it hardly needs a dressing......  but I still give it a splash of raspberry vinegarette   LOL

I know!  I found out I really like it!  It can be expensive, though.  The more I cook the more stuff I feel I need.  At least I have regretted none of my purchases thus far.  I hope I feel the same after I decide to spring for the nice oven.

...I doubt it....that kind of oven is likely a dream to cook with, compared to standard fair......faster and more even cooking too...

It's a gamble but I'll buy it when I get ready.  Probably after NADA.  I called my appliance fix-it man and asked his opinion on it.  He advised me on what brand of washer to buy.  He said that ranges were the one thing that he didn't recommend one brand over another.  He said that he bought the same one that I'm wanting and hasn't had the first problem with it, but it's hit and miss.  Some of all brands are lemons from the get-go.

The last of my beef stew and it was really good.
