Getting to know your Oven

Did you ever think your Oven has a mind of its own??

     Well I think my new one does !!

I adopted this Range/Oven for the sum of 300.00 last month. (meaning purchased on Craig's List.)

After searching for 2 years I actually found the original owner willing to sell this wonderful appliance, who I have named Snow White of course.

     Why ???  because she is beautiful and completely white in color.  I have drooled over this type of range because of the white ceramic glass cooktop and quick baking convection capabilities.

Our Condo we go to in Florida has the same Range and I love it.  Maybe it makes me feel like I am in Florida !!  Not really, but I love the clean crisp look she has and she brightens up my little kitchen.

Of course after she arrived home we had to purchase a Brand new refrigerator to match her so she would have a friend as pretty as her.

     I thought we bought another she but after delivery we soon found out it is a He,

not because he stands so tall and forward but because he makes the strangest noises, like he is groaning all the time!  I have not bonded with him yet, as he is going back and we are waiting for a replacement to come from Lowe's at the end of this month.  I will let you know if it is a she or he.

     Anyway back to Snow White, Monday morning I decided to Bake a Sweet for the first time.

The previous owner never used the oven and it showed, actually this range is in pristine condition a really great find.  I made Apple Pecan Bread and it came out perfect! the temp and timer was fantastic.

I really was so excited you would be too if you had been the owner of our old one it was a He and He only worked when He chose too!!!

     All was Well in Kitchen Heaven until later that afternoon when I decided to move Snow White!!

You see when all this appliance moving was going on and all my  Spring reorganizing projects where happening, I found Gold ....an empty cubby in a cannot reach back cabinet.

So I had this brilliant idea to store my off Season Fall and Winter Dishes in there.

So as I started to pull Snow White out I had to open the oven door to do this by the way, She slowly slid gracefully away from her stage then She Bit me... Yes Bit me she grabbed my Finger and slammed her door shut ======= OUCH !!!!!   OUCH !!!   OUCH!!!

     After whispering, yelling, no Screaming profanity in Polish of course I ran to the sink for Cold water and to keep the blood under control.

Yikes! Did you know our end of our Fingers has the most nerve endings in our whole Bodies?

I wonder if being Beheaded would hurt less!!

So long story short as I type with 9 fingers one bandaged and up in the air.  After tears and ice Snow White has apologized and I know it was not her fault, it is a Good thing she proved her loyalty to me earlier that morning creating that wonderful apple bread. 

the Moral of this story is Do Not Organize!!  No... it is Do Not do too many things at once!!  No...

Oh yes it is DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS WHERE THEY DO NOT BELONG !!!!!!

I can almost hear my Mother Saying this .
