Hi Dae,
RH> Sounds like it has done well over the years. I think the longest we've
RH> had one is about 9 years; they seem to go belly up before reaching 10.
DD> This is my second "over the stove" nuker. My first was one I inherited
DD> when my mom fell off her twig. It was a Litton smooth top with the
DD> nuker on top and a conventional oven under. It worked nicely
Litton is a not that well known name for appliances; I've heard it
before but don't really know much about them, their quality, etc.
DD> I've been here about that long. Dunno how long the nuker was in place
DD> when I bought the joint, though.
RH> There was no microwave in this house when we bought it. It had a stove
RH> which we replaced right away (donated old one to our church), a
RH> dishwasher that's still going and a fridge which we replaced 6 years
RH> ago with a bigger one. Bought the house in late November, 2014 but
DD> My ice box is going a good job. Gonna have to have a service call to
DD> fix the ice maker though. After I'm done with my morning coffee I
DD> mostly drink water the rest of the day - so I go through a fair amount
DD> of ice.
I'll only put ice in my drinks if it is really warm, most often drink
everything (usually just water) cool. Guess it's a lingering remnant of
our time in Germany where drinks were rarely served with ice so I got
used to that temperature. Also, when I was growing up, my parents didn't
use a lot of ice in drinks but we had nice cold well water so ice wasn't
really needed.
DD> How is a gas stove going to be bad for your asthma? I don't
DD> understand. But, then, there's a lot about the world that I don't
DD> "get". Bv)=
RH> Microscopic particles that cause pollution, bad for lungs, etc
RH> according to scientists.
DD> And for every one of those scientests there is another who will say
DD> that he's a rhinestone studded, rhodium-plated doofus. Bv)= Still
DD> it's a lot better to err on the side of caution.
True, but the house isn't really set up for a gas stove at this point.
It would involve a lot of re-working the kitchen area so I'll just
settle for the electric stove and occaisionally growl about it.
DD> Be nice to have that much room. My stove and ice box are cheek by
DD> jowl. Then there's a 10 inch or so counter top and the sink.
RH> Sounds about like our camper. Fridge, stove and sink are all in a line,
RH> with a small counter to the side of the sink. Other side of that area
RH> is seating--2 bench seats (with backs) and a table. That area morphs
RH> into a bed, which we made up once when our grand daughters stayed with
RH> us in Utah. The sofa is sort of like a futon bed, also used for the
RH> other grand daughter. Both of those might sleep 2 smaller kids but in
RH> reality, only one adult size with any degree of comfort.
DD> My kitchen is cramped - but not that cramped. Nor as moblie. Gotta
DD> beat cooking over a campfire.
Quite often when we're set up somewhere for longer than overnight, Steve
will pull out the camp stove and do a lot of the cooking outside. Part
of that is because the smoke detector in the R-Pod was positioned so
that much of any use of the stove would set it off. We'd either throw a
towel over it or take it down when we wanted to cook. The Grey Wolf has
a small outdoor "kitchen" of an ice maker, fridge and small stove top;
I've never used it.
DD> ... I hate when green jellybeans are mint instead of lime
RH> OTOH, I'd rather have mint jellybeans instead of lime. (G)
DD> Just a tag line. I don't care either was as I like both flavours. And
DD> I don't eat jellybeans (or gummies).
I know, but it's fun replying to one like that. I do eat jellybeans and
gummies, the latter on a regular basis as a couple of the suppliments we
take are gummies.
