We take possession on Monday. We move on the 23rd. Hopefully, the new range will be installed before we move in. I'll have to wait for the island to be built.

(I've obtained some lovely scotch for my husband to drink while I aquaint him with the costs. :biggrin: ). Perhaps the entire bottle will be enough.

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.

You also might try rocking him to sleep..........

I have a 5-pound rock that might do.. :biggrin:

OK . . . That triggered a total incapacitation event.

Marlene, I have lost track. Do you have a link to this marvelous range? I have a friend that might have an interest. (Sorry, I am too lazy to try to figure out the one you are talking about.)

The expenditures have been approved. And I didn't even need the whole bottle. Range and island go on order tomorrow!

The orders have been placed. Yesterday the appliance store told me a week to order and deliver, today they told me a week to 10 days. So we'll see whether this gets installed before or after we move. Not that I'm liable to be cooking anything for the first couple of days after the move anyway!

Yippee!

We were over at the new house today getting stuff organized. Here's my new baby, waiting to be installed. No, the burners and grates haven't been put on yet.

Look at the knobs on that sucker!

This is where its home will be. They still have to cut the granite. You can see the gas line pulled and the panel has been flipped to wall behind

HAH! Those gas burners will whip that fried chicken into submission.

Do you have a cute white dog to sit on top of it waiting to be sauted? :laugh:

This stove screams grease me up with bacon or fried chicken!  So, just when, Marlene.

Either would be good! But I'm thinking fried chicken first. And of course Prime Rib for the first test of the convection oven.

My three cats would eat the cute white dog for breakfast. :biggrin:

That range is absolutely gorgeous! That's the range I'd get if my building had gas installed. Congratulations! As it is now, I may get the electric Dacor. Was installation of the gasline very expensive?

Dogs need far more attention than cats do. My cats just know they are the centre of attention at all times.

The gas line was $450.00 to run, all in.

Oh wow!!!! :wub::wub: Wait till Daddy-A sees this!!

He has, and is suffering greatly to be sure! Looks amazing Marlene ... when do you finally get to use it??

A.

Moving day is Wednesday, Thursday is unpacking day. I figure it will be Friday or Sat before I actually get to use it!

Marlene,

Naahh....you'll be turning that baby on before Saturday for sure! This is too cool!!!

As for the felines...they do need to be the centre of attention (I KNOW, I am owned by a Burmese!!!) therefore, put their little bowls around the new range and take a picture.... We want to see these guys!

Kidding aside, good luck with the move and may your new kitchen be at the heart of many many good times!

i'll work on the cat pics, although they are of independent mind in this. In the meantime, the sooner the better that I get to actually cook something on this. We don't do Easter in a big way here, but I'm thinking I can come up with a scrumptious meal or two!

In case you need an excuse to play with that range, some reports back on how well it works with specific recipes or techniques would be appreciated. Think of it as a public service for those of us who are contemplating similar extravagant purchases...
