New Appliences

We just got our new appliances installed. We had to buy a new stove since the outer glass spontaneously combusted one day last summer. We waited to buy new ones because A) it was still o.k. for Tim and I to use it B) we wanted to pay for it out of pocket C) Texas has a tax free weekend on energy star appliances. So it just so happened that the tax free weekend correlated with Timmies increased mobility, which was forcing us to be required to get a new oven for safety reasons.

We decided to get the works (a new oven, microwave, and dishwasher) in order to match our white fridge. The white really opened up our kitchen and we think it looks great! We got great deals on everything. The thing that I like the most is the stove top has a central burner and skillet. I told my husband one morning that I would have the pancakes done in 20 min and from start (when I told him) to finish (putting the last pancake on the plate) I was finished in 20 min (our last oven it would have taken at least an hour just to cook all the pancakes). I also haggled the price of our dishwasher which was tax free (it was the only energy star appliance). Next we are going to have to buy new counter tops to replace the off white Formica we currently have.
