Our "New" Oven

I am so excited about the new oven Mike got me this past week from someone selling it from the internet.  I'm am so grateful there are people out there who love stainless steal and are willing to sell their amazing appliances to "upgrade" to stainless steal.  At first I wondered why Mike was checking the internet for new ovens about 6 months ago.  Wasn't our oven working fine?  It seemed to cook food well enough for me.  But, I decided not to rebuttle a good deed, so I let him look without saying a word. 

Monday evening he traveled over an hour to pick this sweet thang up.  He came home at around 9:30 and began cleaning.  He cleaned and cleaned an already fairly clean looking oven until it looked new.   We didn't go to bed until midnight (I was on the computer).  Isn't he great? 
I must say, immidiately I was very excited about the dual ovens and clean range.  After cooking on it for a few days, I understand what I have been missing these long 8 years in this house with the former oven.  No longer am I having to light the gas stove manually every time.  It became to mechanical for me, I forgot I was even doing it.  My cakes bake on a level surface, my pans fit lovely on the stove, and  I can bake 6 loaves of bread all at once without having to play a game of Tetris.  I have been amazed at how uniformly cooked everything has been coming out of the oven as well.  We still have much to learn about this oven, but even so, I'm lovin' it. 
It's a love affair for me, really.  I have plans for this baby and me.  Oh, the things I'll be able to cook, the meals we'll be able to have!  I am very excited! 
I have the greatest hubby in the world to see a need, even when I didn't, and treat me to something so grand.  Thanks Mike!  You're the best!
