Long story short, FI stood on the ceramic top stove the other day...and shattered the top. Awesome.
IF YOU WEIGH MORE THAN A THANKSGIVING TURKEY DO NOT STAND!
Anyway, we had a big argument about it last night because he wanted to just go and get a cheap crappy stove to replace it because 'all stoves are the same - they just heat shit up'. Now, I was by no means saying we had to go buy a professional series top of the line stove but a half decent $300-$400 used stove would suffice.
My rebuttal was that I don't tell him what tools to buy because he's the one who uses them, my opinion doesn't really matter but that he needs to take my opinion into consideration when it comes to something I use every day. Then he went and stormed off in a huff, grabbing his keys to go for a drive to cool off. He didn't realize that my car was in front of his so his dramatic entrance resulted in him sheepishly sulking back in the door. It was kind of cute.
Anyway, so today we figured we'd go out an look to see if we could find anything decent on clearance...um, needless to say, I've come home skipping
He ended up falling in love with a convection oven with an induction top. It's so amazingly energy efficient, and SEXY! It's one sexy mother - f**king stove!
SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!
I have to think of something to do for him for going along with this.
I'm thinking cake!
Now just to learn to cook on the damn thing and I'll be golden!
