I am very excited as I have a new oven on order.

It will have

• 4 burners (that work, I only have 3 at the moment), with clickers to light them
• a thermostatically controlled oven, and …. …
• it will actually have numbers on the temperature gauge.

Yes I know it is very sad to be so excited about such a poxy oven, especially compared to all the beautiful domestic ones that everyone else has, but I have been cooking for 18 months on the this oven, which has no temperature control except ‘on’ and ‘off’, and which cannot cook puff pastry, oven chips or bread.  All I need now is a freezer that freezes…
