It's in! it's hooked up! it works!! Ive already made a grilled turkey sandwich last night on it. What a treat to have a stove again! I can't wait to bake something :) Maybe I'll look through my recipes right now and see if there's something Forth of July-ish that I can bake....thinking....(Edee why don't you come over and help me cook?) lol, ok...ok...just bring some wine ...gotcha ;)
There's a cool little feature on the top where you can flip over a part of the grill to hold a wok...clever huh?
Well, Kip did a great job getting it to fit. He wasn't thrilled that it sticks out a little too far in front, but it had to be that way to allow the vent grate. I don't mind it at all. It's a lot higher than my old stove top so I really feel like a shrimp if I dont have shoes on. The grates come up to my, ummm...well they come up kinda high. I'll have to be careful (((reaching)) or I might have the same problem Mrs. Doubtfire had---ya that!
Well I hope everyone has a great Forth of July...be careful, relax, have fun, stay cool,
Lo**

Posted by: dan on July 4, 2005 11:23 PMI'm dying to try Alton Brown's brownies. (On the Food TV website, recent recipies under his show--Good Eats). He gives scientific reasons why to do (or not) different things. But it's too blasted hot. Anyhow, your stove looks fabulous and I'd make them despite the heat. The brownies call for cocoa instead of chocolate and one of the best batches of brownies I ever had were from cocoa. Corti's has Valrhona which is pricey but incredible.
I love your new stove. I want it......
Posted by: Kathe on July 5, 2005 04:15 PMKathe those brownies sound great!
Here's the Recipe:
Soft butter, for greasing the pan
Flour, for dusting the buttered pan
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar, sifted
1 cup brown sugar, sifted
8 ounces melted butter
1-1/4 cups cocoa, sifted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.
You are a very lucky girl. LOVE your new range.
I see you've been busy doing your Lolo stuff. It's all fab. as usual. photos and kitties and art and cooking and writing and keeping us all interested in what YOU do. You GO LO!
I'm back again.
