[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cookie Swap

Mon Dec 7 15:52:51 UTC 2009

When I moved into my new condo, in 2006, I had to replace the stove, washer, drier and frig.  The stove had controles on the back and since, most likely I was going to live here for a long, long time, I was not going to reach over a hot burner to turn off a stove.  I am to short to reach the bottom of the washer so I got frunt loading, stackable ones and gave myself some storage shelves.  I also got a side by side frig.  The only one I did not change was the dish washer.  I hardly ever use it. Sears is helpful in finding an applience to fit your needs.

Joyce, If it is helpful I know someone who has one of those stoves and has had a template made out of thick plastic which fits over the touch pad area so that she can find the touch areas without activating them. I can find out the contact information for the company. I haven't cooked on top of one of the glass topped stoves before but I understand that they are nice to clean. It's a pain that the more advanced we come the bigger pain the devices become in terms of accessibility.

We will take low fat and good stuff treats, too.It does not have to be fancy holiday either.  Oatmeal cookies are always a good staple and the stand by chocolate chip [I haven't had Tollhouse cookies in a long time].  

I was the Mom that had warm cookies when they came in the door from school.  Gee that was too long ago.  It will be better in a couple of years when the Grand girls are in school all day and I will have time with only one little Princess underfoot half a day.  I will get back into the baking cookies or having warm stuff coming out of the oven when they get to Grandma's house after school.  

Well I went over to the stove today and felt all over it.  I found the dials and my DH had eggs boiling on top of the stove for egg salad.  So I moved the pan around and it is a bit hard figuring out where the pan should really be wiwith this flat top.

I will just have to get to explore more.

ALet me set you all straight.  I did not cook much once the kids left the nest before I went blind.  My husband liked cooking the special meals and he did the Sunday cooking.  I had clean up duty.

I loved to bake and sew.  

So when I went blind and he took over the cooking it was OK with me.
He
has made comments to me about cooking and he prefers I let him do it.  

I was baking last year with the gas oven, but the oven died and I moved

upstairsI have all my measuring stuff down on the first floor so I can go and get it.  I can always go next door to my Mom's house and bake cookies with her, too.
