But Wait There Is More Happy

So then Saturday rolls around. We slept in a bit, but not a whole lot. We had plans to go to the Redondo Beach Bristol Farms lobster fest. Which was really a feast, but more on that in a bit. Around noon there was a knock on the door. The Warden, aka my landlord, was here to install the new(to us) stove. Now this is a good thing, but I had forgotten that I had said we should do it right then. Now I wasn't too thrilled with the idea, but we had been putting it off for over a month already so there was no helping it and we just did it. In the process much stuff needed to be moved out of the way to 1) get the old stove out, 2) get the new stove out of the garage, and 3) get the new one back up stairs and installed.

These are the stairs.

So the old one is out, the new one is in. I won't go into details about the adapters needed or the cleaning required before it could come inside. I will elaborate on the happy factors since that's what this post is about. Looking at it now makes me happy for a number of reasons.

To begin with it looks soooooo much nicer than the ghetto appliance it replaced. Seriously. I wish I had taken a picture of our little ghetto stove before the old mexican couple picked it up in the alley this morning. Oh well. Actually you can see it in the back ground of this picture.


Second, all four burners work AT THE SAME TIME. Woohoo! Third, more than one cupcake can be baked at a time now. Can you say apple pie? I can. Fourth, since Imelda really does like to cook this should make things a bit easier. Which is nice. Here's the new one.



More on the lobsters later.
