Rebuild from Depression Blog

This stove is powered up and cooking our food -- an antique Wedgewood. The burners put out an impressive amount of heat. Who needs a $5K Wolf stove? (Who has $5K or even a nickel these days?) We have had this mid-40s stove for a couple of years, just waiting for a few adjustments and to be hooked up. If you think I'm slow with email, now you know that more than email moves at a snail's pace around here.

We cooked sourdough pancakes on this bad boy last weekend. They were great except that I put the starter on the stove the evening before, on the pilot. The starter probably rose in an hour and was totally pooped by breakfast. The pancakes were still tasty, just not as fluffy as usual. The pancakes were part of our Halloween fun exploring "the lost road" and taking "scary lone hiker" portraits. We had a great time. (Follow the "lost road" excitement, which could end up being an excellent weight loss strategy -- the hike is a tough one.)

If you are interested in the Rebuild kitchen, check out some old posts on my long-neglected house blog. We planned a kitchen remodel a few years ago but we never did get to it. The pictures there aren't far off, but perhaps I'll take some new ones soon.
