Death of an Oven

It is with a lump in my throat and a deep pain in my wallet that I tell you my friends… that  our  Thermador oven  is morte, defunct, past-tense, kaput. This Sunday after making a delicious  (and I mean delicious) Ratatouille- Tomato Tart for our dinner with the  s’laws, our oven baked its last bake. Sure she had been sick on and off, but I never knew that she was  that sick… she looked so good and shiny. Since that terrible moment we’ve been looking for a replacement and after much deliberation we found the lucky oven… the Kitchenaid Architect Series Microwave/Oven combination plus warming drawer. In two weeks the nice folks at ABT will be delivering  and installing our new baby -- in the meantime we’ll be doing a bunch of grilling, stove top cooking and dreaming.

Here is the new one… can’t wait to see the new one in the kitchen.

P.S. During my research for a new oven -- I found out that our late, great  Thermador model was hated by most of its owners –because they require the most repairs – never again will I be fooled by looks over  functionality (I think).
