I did it. I christened the gas oven at the new place. I am in a 2 story upper flat of a duplex in Milwaukee. It is an old home but a beauty. I have been craving a gas stove and oven for years and now have one. Granted I gave up a lot of modern conveniences a contemporary apartment offers, but there are perks that far out weigh the negatives. Gas cooking. Oh yes! Nothing like it.
Yes, my kitchen is now probably smaller than the one I had with my ex in 1985 in LA, but it is so cool. And cooking is just a delight. Tonight I roasted and then broilded yellow cauliflower with garlic, olive oil, and parmesan cheese. To die for! Anyone who has used an electric oven understands my pain. For eight years, I have tried to cook mostly in my toaster oven because the electric ovens never heated quite right. Not anymore. Well that and the old house doesn't let me use the toaster oven and microwave at the same time without the fuse blowing. Old house...new problems. It's all good!
