Now We're Cooking With Gas

Don't let anyone tell you that dreams will not come true. I have been wanting a gas range for the kitchen for the longest time, but I have been unwilling to spend the money$$$ on a new range while the old one was still functioning. My wife tells me I am a tightwad.

Well, just the other day she noticed a crack in the glass-top stove while she was cleaning it. She called me in from the garage to look at it. To my surprise the cook top was not just cracked, it was shattered. Something had fallen out of the cabinet and cracked the pyrex cook-top. I did a little checking on the internet to see how much a replacement glass would cost. With an enourmous grin on my face, I informed my wife that it would cost more to repair the stove than if we bought a new one. A new gas burning range with 5 burners now sits where that horrible electric glass-top unit stood.

I hated that stove with a passion. Now don't get the wrong idea. I did not willingly, purposefully, nor knowingly drop anything on the stove. I did not even know about the damage untill it was brought to my attention. I was not even happy that I had to go buy a new stove. But I was jumping up and down with excitement about the GAS stove that was installed yesterday morning.

NOW WE'RE COOKIN' WITH GAS, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
