Yum indeed! I too prefer grass fed beef

Be careful when weeding things out. I always have, within a
week or so, found that I needed that which I so rightously
threw out.

Have you used gas before and know that's what you want? Then
fine. But if you are getting one just because of the
supposed "superiority" of gas, take a look here before you

One word: Thermador. The one with a gas cooktop and
convection oven. Absolutely rocks. The cooktop burners are
star shaped (great distribution of heat) and have a very
slow and ultra-slow setting that turns itself on and off
for all day cooking of soups, stews, etc. Dials are easy to
read. (I made the mistake of buying a Dacor, the
predecessor of the Thermador, and had to kneel to see the
digital "dials."😉

Dang. There definitely are some disadvantages to living near
the beach in SoCal: no place to put a freezer. OTOH, we can
walk to the beach and walk to the bar!

OBMoving: Yikes! How did I accumulate all this stuff.

I'm a former Air Force brat/corporate wife and have refined
moving to an art. Although you didn't ask, this is a perfect
time to get rid of stuff. Oddly, I recommend (if you can
afford it) to move everything to the new place and make
decisions about what to keep and what to toss at the new
place. Invariably, if I get rid of stuff before a move, I
find it's needed in the new space. And, although it's a
massive pain in the butt, label boxes in detail. Writing
"living room" or "Suzie's room" isn't going to tell you what
a priority box is. "Suzie's bedding" gets unpacked before
"Suzie's Barbie doll collection." "kitchen towels, hot pads,
etc." is going to get unpacked before "breadmaker,
mandoline, Christmas cookie cutters."

Have I used gas before? Sir! You cut me to the quick!

Why, I was cooking with gas back when we had to wait for the
local mastodon to fart so we could get enough pressure for
the broiler.

I've been cooking with gas so long that Ken Burns wants to
make a documentary about me.

Mason Williams wrote "Classical Gas" about a pork chop I
fried for him.

Hell, the local gas company was first incorporated because
they perceived a lucrative market in my cooking habits.

Although there is no truth to the legend that I named it
gas, I was present when the term was coined as an acronym
for "Grill And Sautee."

They look great, but sticker shock doesn't quite convey the
glacial numbness that enveloped me when I checked the prices
online just now.

We're only moving about half a mile, so it's been a week of
small loads twixt and tween, getting ready for the big haul
on Tuesday. D hired Three-Bubbas-and-a-Truck, Inc. for the
final Big Push. We might make some money if we sell tickets
to the show.

My grandmother used to say that three moves equal one
burn. And inspite of your (and others'😉 good advice, I
must confess to having lightend our load of material
posessions lately.

The storms passed, and it got cold enough for the heat to
come on in the new place today. I couldn't figure out how to
turn it off. Hope I didn't toss out the manual.

Ain't got one yet. After the gale of bills that came with
our new house, I'll have to wait a month or so for the
purchase. Meanwhile, do you have any ideas on brands and
models I might consider. Squeaks suggested Thermador, but
I'm in the market for something less expensive.

So where're you living now?

D and I are moving about 1/2 mile from our present home in
Cow Hill, Texas. Currently we live in a "homemade"
Depression era house, with all the quirks and foibles and
weirdness that entails. The house sits on rounds cut from a
bois d'arc tree, for example.

The new place is very Atomic Age modern. The most modern
house in town for 1952.

San Clemente, near the beach. Still, it was a HELL of a lot
hotter than predicted. More tomorrow. Cooling off mid-week.

If you want bills try an induction cook top...same fast
response as gas but more efficent engery use...after ticket
shock. But you need cookware that a magnet will stick to.
