So did I mention that our new stove - the oven part....was messing up? I put a lasagna in last Saturday...just an 8 x 8 pan of it. Noodles precooked, just needed to heat thru. Usually takes 45 minutes at 350 degrees, tops. So I checked it at 1/2 hour intervalS - and after an hour and a half, I could put my open palm on it - right on top of the cheese....and it wasn't hot....just warm. The cheese had melted...but it wasn't bubbling like it usually does. Finished off the lasagna in the microwave that night! I call the appliance place on Monday. No problem, they say...we will send a guy within a day or two, and will call first. Today is Friday right? No repair dude. So I call..and get the same guy we bought it from AND talked to about the problem. "Oh geez!" he says...we had an emergency, and shuffled things around...I forgot all about it! Uh-huh. Needless to say, I am not happy. I told him that since when I called the stove was only 10 days old, it sure would BE NICE if I could use it since its brand new...and I do believe he picked up on my....tone. An hour and a half later..the repair dude is here. Looking at me like 'sure lady...sure it doesn't work'. Love that type of repair dude. HA! Anyway...after he turns all smart ass on me and says...'well, was your lasagna frozen?' (at which point I wanted to bonk him upside the head, but kept my cool)....he keeps testing...and gee, guess what? The brand new oven/stove is running about 60-70 degrees BELOW what it should. Imagine that. He has to order a new temperature probe and then come install it. Meanwhile, he says...just set your oven 70 degrees higher than you should. Uh huh. I hate that kind of thing. Brand new stove...it should work, right??? Not a happy camper. Set it 70 degrees higher. geez. Anyway - that was my day. So before I completely bore you to death, lol....I have another beautiful cluster from Anita to share with you tonight made with my new collection, Reminiscence :)
