Now You're Cookin'!
When National Fuel was here last week for something completely unrelated, they used it as a test to see if our gas lines were bled/working (rather than our furnace!), so we know it is functional. Mostly, i think it just needs a good clean up....
I just tested it and the "visiminder" timer works.
It's a Tappan delux gas range, probably from the 50's, but i am not sure.
A google search revealed that someone is trying to sell one for as much as $275, yet someone else is trying to give one away for parts on Craigslist (some idiot even painted one red; how crazy is that?).
It is 40" wide, 29" deep (including the knobs), and 46" tall (at the tallest bit at the back).
Free to any (e:strip)per or friend/family of (e:strip)per that can come get it.
Any questions, feel free to email myself or (e:Uncutsaniflush).
Here are the visuals:

Yummy & Cute
To keep to the food theme, we went to a movie.... and the spaz that i am, we went a theatre that was only showing the 3D version. A waste since i can't see 3D.....
So, we took the opportunity to replace the bird feeder that the high winds and rain we had a few weeks ago took away. Wild Birds unlimited is a bit expensive, but really has everything we needed.. including a new "dinner bell" just like the one we got my mom last year.
Eventually we made it to the movie. Cute, more amusing than we thought it would be and enjoyable escapism. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Steve was very amusing....

Fun n Food
Mexican food. I still maintain the best mexican place is in St. Catherines Ontario. Carlo's Cantina Today, i had the vegetarian taquitos and they had the jalapeno corn chowder. Without a whole heck of a lot of time due to work schedules, we drove there and back for lunch today....
Because today is mine and (e:Uncutsaniflush)'s anniversary. 8 years. Wow. We have known each other for 9 years. Got married on the anniversary of the day we met. Seems like forever and yesterday all at once. He's a good man. I am very lucky.

This Week
We need a new roof. ASAP. It's not an emergency in the oh-my-god-half-our-roof-just-blew-off kinda way. It's the kinda of oh-lordy-i-hope-it-doesn't-rain-today-so-we-don't-have-to-get-out-the-buckets emergency. So far, one quote, from Naples, after having to pretty much pull teeth to get it. The dude was nice, but man, how many times do i have to call to ask and then wait for a no show? Someone else is coming later this afternoon...
I got my car inspected this week for it's annual inspection. First one i ever needed to get since the Blue Bitch died a horrible insurance death before i had her a year. Found out i needed something called bushings. And was told when i left, i would notice a big difference in the steering. Sure did. But i don't think a wobble and a lateral steering wheel movement from 35mph to 55mph was what they had in mind. Turned out that i had a slow leak... and a nail in my tire. Too close to the sidewall to repair. Called Midas to have it replaced and found out that the 40 bucks i spent on warranty was for REPAIR ONLY despite it not saying that on my reciept. Almost bought the replacement tire from them... then, my smartie pants hubby suggested getting it from the place i get my car repaired at. They got it for me... and for less. Go Russo's! They rock.
Need to get the second half of my root canal done. Now that the abscess is gone with the anti-biotics so the canal won't keep filling up with puss, i should be good to go.
Speaking of...

Dog Days of Summer
Here is (e:Uncutsaniflush)'s (the "Irish Setter" aka Rueben) dog and slaw
And here is his Hungarian mushroom soup.
And my veggie dog junkyard plate with homefries and coleslaw with veggie chili and onions on top.
Then, we went to a very beautiful old cemetery, Mt Hope The older parts were breathtaking and natural, not overly landscaped. Must be the goth girl in me that just adores cemeteries and finds them peaceful and romantic...
We went to the zoo... but ya'll have seen enough of my elephant pics to last a lifetime...
Then, we traveled north to Lake Ontario where we tried to find a lighthouse. Made the mistake of looking on the water side of the road only to find we had passed it a few times... and found it by looking away from the water. Go figure.
As i mentioned in my previous post, (e:LeeTee,49620), i had yet another bad hair experience in Buffalo. John Simon of Simon Inc at 735 Elmwood (@ Breckenridge) was unable to colour my hair red. He tried, then he tried again. I did not wish for another attempt, so i paid someone at Style Lab to fix it. Whole thing, start to finish has cost me 300 bucks... and i have the blah brown hair to prove it. He may be a nice guy with a really cool jukebox, but the dude can't colour hair.
Captain Jack's Fish N Chips on Elmwood between Bird and Forrest is a rip off. My friend Kirsten and i got take out there tonight. We ordered 2 orders of fish and chips (for her and her mom), a veggie burger and fries (for me) and an order of coleslaw for us all. The fish order consisted of 3 pieces smaller than fish sticks, the fries were an undercooked wad of potato that would fit into the palm of my hand, the veggie burger was morningstar farms bean burgers... and they did not give us any coleslaw. They handed us 2 white paper bags all stapled up nice and tidy... so, unless we ripped open the bags, we just assumed they gave us what we ordered. Silly us. Don't go there. They suck.
'cause i swear, i am not always a negative nelly....
