My New Stove

When I suggested to my husband that I would like a new stove I didn't really think anything would come of it. My old stove still worked, okay, not really, but it was something that I'd been making do with and I was sure that I could make do another year. But when he gave the go ahead I didn't look back. I started dreaming of what it would be like to use all the burners on the stove, or having it be digital and clean. Yes, my stove was from the good ol' days. I'm sure it was top of the line in it's time but that time is long gone. After looking online I realized there are a lot of stoves out there. Which one was the best deal with the features I wanted? I started to get overwhelmed so I headed to the library and consumer reports. That's when I found it. The #1 stove was the brand I wanted and had all the features I needed without the fluff. I went back online to price it and luckily because we are in the military and it being Mother's Day weekend I got a great, no make that a fantastic deal. It must have been meant to be. I said goodbye to my old stove yesterday. I didn't even cry when it was hauled away. I was too distracted by my new stove. It shined, it sparkled and when I opened it to look inside there is not a speck of burned on food in sight. Now my mom says that with all that money I saved I need to go out and buy some new pots and pans. Just because the lids don't fit and the non-stick is also long gone. . . Hmm. . .new pots and pans and a new stove, I might actually enjoy cooking again.
