I finally got my new stove. We’ve had enough roast chicken dinners for a while. I made oatmeal for breakfast and I think we’ll have a big pot of chili for dinner.

Here’s the oatmeal with our 7 pound bag of brown sugar. Thanks to my brother-in-law, Dave, we have enough brown sugar for a few more batches of oatmeal. Yeah that’s right – Dave carried that huge Cosco size bag of brown sugar in his carry-on luggage and gave it to us when we were in Michigan this summer. Thank you Dave!

This is one of my most exciting posts isn’t it? Well you try going without a stove and microwave for a week and a half. It was so exciting to have our stove back that Bea asked to have her picture taken with the stove.

And there you have it – that’s what passes as thrilling in this household – big bags of sugar and a new stove.
