cw - decaf coffee and two small squares of chocolate = to about one of the Lindt bar squares. I have in the past and probably will again in the future overindulge in something chocolate and it definitely kept me awake and zingy for awhile. Tonight I am having trouble keeping my eyes open, even though I slept 7 hours last night and had about an hour nap today.

Yes. My area (suburbs) fine just 'very poor' air quality rating but many rural towns in evacuaction mode (if highways open). Emergency plans in operation. This does & can happen - some years worse than others.

Beautiful holiday town of Mallacoota has people trapped but Navy ships are rescuing people from beaches apparently. Never ever seen that before.

TN, that is what I have now, but the smaller oven is on the bottom. I love it. I think the smaller oven on top would be nice, mine is on the bottom and I never used it for much but the holidays. For most of my baking and cooking the smaller on the top would do the job! Thank you , and Send too!

pamzimmrrt, since you're looking for new ovens you might want to consider a replacement with one "half" height oven. My stove has two ovens, one small and one traditional full size. I LOVE the small oven. It preheats _much_ faster than the full sized oven and bakes cookies, cakes, pies, breads, pizzas, and casseroles (pretty much anything 1-3" high) more evenly. I saw a double wall oven recently with the same small oven on top configuration. There are also some triples with a microwave, small oven, and full size oven.

That is possible Send, but the oven is over 30 YO, a magic Chef and they made beasts back in the day! My dishwasher is original to the house too. and still runs like a charm. So hubs is searching out new double ovens now. My lips are from the dental work I am sure, she and the tech were in my mouth for almost 3 hours, and this has happened to me before,, ended up in an urgent care the first time! He did open the door to the kitchen in our balmy 30 degree day to air it out, I am sure you are right some of the fumes smelled "cleaner like" . I tried to warn him it didn't go well last time we "self cleaned".. LOL But what do I know?

Pammzi,
This is possible....
When using oven cleaner on a self cleaning oven (they heat way up and any food is turned into ashes?), then someone comes along to use the self-cleaning function and the toxins left from the oven cleaner (even though you had rinsed it out) are released into the house, you may get a reaction, including swollen lips. I think using oven cleaner on a self-cleaning oven is not recommended.

Hope you have aired out the house anyway.

Yeah but, anyway, since your oven is old, stop using the self cleaning option.

Nope on the dime Becky,, with my luck one of us would choke on it.. LOL Hubs decided to clean the oven today,, its old and I remembered that the last time we tried that it didn't go well, so I have been using oven cleaner. Nope he used the self cleaning system,, and its still locked.. so he just recently put the pork and sauerkraut in the bottom oven,, so I guess we will be eating late. And I have spent the day trying to pack mom for a visit to Aunts tomorrow,, has been interesting to say the least.. I did get a few Christmas things paced back up, mainly a wasted day. And my lips have swollen up like I had botox,, some sort of allergic reaction to all the meds at the dentist. So I am itchy and bumpy and not happy...

Becky, you act as if that is not a big deal. Glad you are okay. I hope that woman realizes she shouldn't be pulling strangers' arms. My dad had a port put in for cancer treatments. I couldn't even touch him on that side. It hurt him too much.

Happy New Year Everyone!! Jolly jolly.

Anyway, trying to figure out what's for dinner tonight, I went to grocery store and purchased some stuff, thinking perhaps I would cook... Nope. Ordered pizza and buffalo wings..

While at store, my cats and dog needed food. I picked up cans of cat food, and a bag of dog food. Got home and read the label of the Grocery Brand Cat Food:

LABEL READS: WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING PET FOOD...

So, why would I trust that my pets would be okay in digesting this? Think I am going to waste a few minutes tomorrow to return this product.

Seriously? I purchased a can of cat food that may be dangerous if I do not wash my hands after feeding it to my pets, and then I store the remainder in my refrigerator? YIKES....

The other brand cat food has no such warning on its label. I guess I will read all generic/grocery brand labels.. Didn't realize there was such a warning on canned pet food. Maybe this pertains to the grocery's dry pet food too.

This situation tells me, there actually may be a difference in quality of grocery brand vs name brand products of all things found in a grocery store.

AB wanted to buy us dinner so I wouldn't have to cook. How sweet.
We had Chinese take out.

I ate some vegetable lo mein and vegetable fried rice, lots of brocolli(YUM) all smothered with general tsao sauce. And some spanakopita(if I spelled correctly)Spinach,cream cheese, feta(super delicious)

I didn't eat until this meal as I anticipated it all day and new I would eat too much, which I did. :(
But I am riding it off now. :)
