What, No Cupcakes?

Always something...

We need a new kitchen stove, ours is very old

and the oven finally gave out...

What NO CUPCAKES?

We live in an older home,

(no, not a beautiful older home)

a small, late 60's model rambler,

not a cute 50's style cottage!

Here's the 1st. dilemma

It has the drop in range style

(so popular back then),
and it looks to me

that our opening is just a smig

too small

for a

regular

style

range!

...and

drop-ins are two to three times
more expensive...

why,
there's less stove???

anyhoo,

Without a total revamp of our

cupboards, for just half an inch...

(Who says SIZE doesn't matter)?

I may be stuck with the exuberant

price, just because of the

drop-in...

Then the added problem

of having regular old fashioned

burners (no gas here),

if I order a pretty stainless steel stove

it comes with either a white or black

enamel top, are you kidding me...how ugly!

Most stoves come with glass tops,

Dilemma #2

I've cooked with the old iron pans

all of my life, is it time to give them

to my favorite thrift store and

get new pans?
The glass top range looks
nicer than the ugly black or white
enamel that comes with the

plain coil burner stoves...

What to do, What to do???

I can't even find a good picture to share

with you, none with the ugly white enamel

top and this one makes it look like the black

enamel fits in, but in real life I haven't found

one with all the black to make it look like it

works...

For one thing, I'd never have the

burner controls on the front, we have

too many little grand kiddos that

would find them way too much fun.

The other thing,

I haven't found a stove

like this picture, with all the black edging,

 which really does tie the

black enamel top in better...

Glass top ranges really do look nicer

than the enamel top coil burner stoves!

Thanks for letting me vent!

Always, Debbie~
