The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

We have an electric stove in the house we moved into a year ago that beeps when the timer goes off. The problem is that it only beeps a few times, and you have to be within a few feet of the stove to hear it. It's a wonderful stove if you like overcooked or unevenly cooked food and like to spend a lot of time pushing the wrong buttons to try to get the settings you want. I'd yank it out in a heartbeat and put in a simple gas one if we planned on staying here, but we don't, so that just gives us one more excuse to eat out a lot... Yes, these appliances now days are really over-engineered. I don't need a refrigerator to call my cell phone to let us know that we're out of milk, or a stove with a screen that shows me how to prepare some exotic dish that I have none of the ingredients for, and wouldn't eat if I could make it.
