I have been cooking a lot lately with all the harvested veggies and fruits from the gardens. Either cooking fruits down to jams, jellies, sauces or pickled, sauced, salsa or blanched veggies. It’s a daily event on the homestead farm I think I almost eat breath sleep it…. lol.
So 8 years ago when we moved here we had to buy a few appliances as there wasn’t any that came with out old farmhouse. So we purchased a new but cheaper fridge and stove cause we knew we would eventually get a new set for our new kitchen.
The new kitchen isn’t ready yet but a new stove is definitely on the list of things we need to buy… this week. I have worked Matilda really hard and she has now decided that….. she is not going to work hard at all. So a big plate and a small plate now no longer work:(
I knew a new stove was in the makings but I didn’t think it would come until the spring when we have the walls redone in the what is going to be the new kitchen. Funny thing is I have been hearing about the shortages and I hope with all my heart we can find something….. even a floor model for sale so that we actually get a new stove.
So for now, I won’t be cooking too many things all at once and I will be utilizing my crock pots more often till we find a replacement for Matilda the stove.
Now I know some of you are saying you can repair it or replace the broken parts and I agree, but there are so many things that you just cannot buy anymore or rather still you can order…… it just might take a year or so to get the part……
Looking forward to I hope a glass top stove again and cooking up a storm again.
Absolutely loving our old fashioned life, God bless♡
