Okay this next bit isn't really new, I've been meaning to rant about it for awhile but it just keeps slipping my mind.
A few years ago my grandmother had her kitchen redone. Cabinets, countertops, the whole shebang. Anyway she decided that she didn't want to have to worry about making big meals anymore and had the oven removed. So now all we have is a stove top range... Isn't that one of the stupidest things you've ever heard? Now whenever we want to make a frozen pizza or anything like that we have to cut it into sections and put it in a dinky-ass toastmaster that ironically takes up a butt-load of counter space.
Obviously it takes forever to get anything done. Now, here's the kicker. Every major holiday all the extended family that lives in the area drops in and my grandmother always insists on having a big meal spread out for them. So now we have to cart bag-ass turkeys and hams back and forth from one of my other aunt's apartment.
You'd think the obvious solution would be to go get an oven but no, every time its brought up I get the same response: "No! I don't want to have to make big meals!"
No one said you had to dammit! My mom and I do most of the cooking around here anyway! Just sit down, shut-up and let us deal with it!
