What's cookin' ?



Ah yes ... a new stove will go perfectly in our little home, hidden amongst the trees. It is much smaller than we are used to, but it will work. It has a "Sabbath" mode. I had no idea what that meant but because my family observes Sabbath, I was very intrigued and went in to research mode. It will warm food for us, without having to "work." In the past we have eaten cold leftovers or salad on Shabbat. This range, with Sabbath Mode has opened up all kinds of menus for us! Our oven won't do much at one time but we'll get by! Our turkey sizes may have to change but we've found a way around baking. We'll be buying a full size "Perfection" Oven.
It adds space for more things to bake at once ... which, when you have a larger than average family, helps a great deal! Here it is ... not only can we bake in our "regular" oven ... but this one will go on top of our new range & adds a couple extra racks to utilize. YAY!
On a side note ... thank you to those who gave their opinions on whether to build two doors or just one, for the bath room & bedroom situation. You all made the same point & I agree. I definitely don't want to sacrifice our privacy! It's not really a cost issue, though I did bring that up. Really though, it's more of a wall space issue. In order to make a few adaptations to our plans work, we need extra wall space & a door doesn't only take up the space it's placed in ... but also the space it uses when needing to be opened. So ... I'm thinking stick with only one door ... but make that door go right in to the bathroom. Then inside the bathroom, on another wall, there could be a door leading in to my bedroom. The bedroom can be locked from the inside for privacy & from the outside, to keep people from going in when they shouldn't be. Does that sound like it would work better?
