The thing about the gas stoves. I remember when I first moved to Denver as a newlywed almost everyone had gas appliances. Ranges, ovens, water heaters and even dryers. I could smell them just walking into someone’s house. They all thought I was nuts but it was so gross! I couldn’t understand how someone could cook food and eat it when it stunk like that!
Here I am now loving my propane Viking cooktop! Well I do think they’ve improved efficiency of appliances but DH says he still smells propane sometimes. He who thought I was nuts back in the day!!!

What a GREAT IDEA!!!! Thank you!

I can't eat pasta -- gluten issues -- but salsa on rice? Sounds like lunch tomorrow.

How did I never think of this before!

Well I feel like a slacker, a melted Gumby slacker,, I got the bread baked, the house vacuumed, salsa made, as I was rinsing the green beans daughter in-law called, then I had to make dinner, then holy basil it was 6pm . Way to hot
Green beans and carrots are in the fridge.
I read not to pre snap beans and let set over night, FINE,, while I have coffee at 4am I will snap the beans and peel the carrots,, I am sure by this time there are more beans to be picked by it ain’t happening tomorrow.

So yes slacker
