Appliances make me happy.

Still need to put the cover on the bottom of the dishwasher...

When we bought this house four years ago we kept the existing stove, dishwasher, and microwave.  The microwave worked fine.  The others, not so much.  We managed with three out of four burners and many quick rinses of glasses and silverware before company came.

No longer.

I'm proud to say that I can now hand you a knife directly from the dishwasher and you wouldn't have to worry about yesterday's peanut butter residue.  Those days are gone.

And the stove?  All five burners, baby, not to mention my uncanny ability to cook a roast and rolls at the same time.  "Is there any felicity in the world superior to this?"  No, Marianne Dashwood, no there isn't.

My favorite thing of all?  The cobalt blue interior.  

Time to go.  I gotta bake...something.
