Just life (thankfully it’s not always like this)

Okay…

a couple of days ago our oven broke – lock, stock and barrel.  (well, the stove-top works, if we’re brave enough to use it when the rest of the appliance is faulty)

and last night our freezer stopped working. Uh-oh.  Result: bunch of stuff gone over to a friend’s house to put in their freezer; 6 pies over to a friend’s house to cook in their oven (made with thawed berries); everything that doesn’t *have* to be in a freezer taken out and scattered randomly stacked neatly in our kitchen; inside freezer stuffed to bursting with everything that will fit from the other freezer; and a cooler full of things that needs to either be eaten in the next few days or thrown away.  Oh yes, and during this time I found out our blender was broken.

Anyway, we eventually got the kitchen spot-less and I’m thankful we ended up saving most of the food and that we have a new freezer and stove ordered, which will arrive sometime next week.  In the meantime we’ll be eating a lot of vegetables, meat, and blueberry pie.

Oh – and I’m very, very thankful that we aren’t supposed to bring the main dish to our macro group on Sunday.

Yikes! I bet you are glad you don’t have to bring the main dish! :)

Wow. That makes our few weeks without a working dishwasher look like child’s play. Appliances (or rather the lack thereof) can be such a pain!

Heidi: Yes, I am! Especially now that our stove-top is “officially” broken and all we have to cook on is a propane outdoors one (and the grill).

Daniel: Having gone 2-3 months without a working dishwasher, I will say that I would rather have one of those than a broken oven and a broken freezer.
