In which I bitch but there’s a recipe, so that almost makes it worth it.
I hate electric stoves!
While I’m certain they’re a vast improvement over wood stoves, they still suck. Suck, suck, suck. You cannot adjust your flame, so you have to remove your pan from the burner and wait — sometimes a few minutes — for the temperature to adjust! How the fuck, I ask you, is a girl supposed to toast spices properly, or make gravy, or freakin’ sautee something?
I’ll tell you how: by moving the pan every four seconds. On the heat, off the heat, on the heat off the heat, waiting for the burner’s temperature to change to what you actually want it to be.
Gah.
I just made coffee. I put a cup of milk in a sauce pan and put it on the stove to heat, and the milk hadn’t even begun to steam let alone simmer by the time the coffee pot was done brewing. That’s just wrong, people. On a gas stove, you can boil milk in moments!
Anywho, today’s coffee recipe:
Brew coffee: Brew two Tbsp Nola-style coffee (a dark roast with chicory) in a drip maker with one cup of water.
Heat milk: Heat 1-1/2 c. milk in a sauce pan, with sugar to taste and a clove and a few cardamom pods.
Assemble: Pour the strong coffee into the milk, froth with a whisk, pour into a coffee mug and enjoy. Makes two cups.
AmmZon is home, so I’m gonna go talk to her and see how long it takes her to take her pants off. (Both of my roommates run around pantsless pretty much all the time. They’re, like, anti-pants or something. It’s funny.)
In other news, I installed Gmail on my cell phone.
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!
I saw that new gmail option for cellphones… I’m skeptical… how is it working for you?
Works great, but I lurked the forum and some folks said it used too much bandwidth. Depends on your plan, I think. -m
boy and bran like to run around without pants on. bran would give up clothing altogether if it didn’t get so cold in winter. i don’t mind running about in a shirt and undies, especially when i get striken by a power surge 🙂 but i don’t do the nekkid thing except to shower.
I do the nekkid thing if I’m alone in the country and it’s hot out and I’ve been sunbathing. I don’t just hang out nekkid though ’cause I don’t like it when my thighs touch. True story. -m
anti-pants *giggle* me too, totally. ‘specially now that i stay at home all the time. I’m anti-socks too, but that doesn’t sound as witty as anti-pants.
I’m anti-shoes, for sure. And socks I only wear when I have to. -m
I’ve moved back to working from home – SUCH a relief not to have to get dressed in the morning – the hens don’t mind if I let them out in a dressing gown :). I think I might be one of the people who’s disappeared from your blogroll – duckingforapples.blogspot.com
Ooh, yes! I’ll add you again! -m
I hate electric stoves too.
I like pants though.
I like my mens to be pantsless though as much as possible.
Coffee. It rocks.
Pantsless mens. *waggles eyebrows* -m
Hate electric stoves.
Recipe sounds lovely but TGF would probably never drink it, but I’m sure you could guess that I would think that. She could prove me wrong, never know.
Sometimes if you just don’t talk to fussy eaters, and make stuff and put it in front of them, they just eat it. Or in this case, drink it! -m
Electric stoves are for MODERN people. You folks obviously are NOT that sort what with your ancient flames and all. They are so easy to use a monkey could handle the burners temp. All it takes if the ability to anticipate.
Duh.
They’re sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. -m
And obviously, so are the people who can’t use them.
This is MY web site and I say ELECTRIC STOVES SUCK! -m
