If you do get a gas stove, don't make the mistake we did.

We got one that happened to have white enamel under and near the burners. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Shiny in the showroom, a bitch to keep clean at home.

Don't get anything remotely like this:

Where we live, the tax difference just about cancels the delivery cost.

A friend of mine became enamored with the combination of apples and peanut butter. Went on and on and on about how incredibly awesome it was. So, i tried it. With my finest organic peanut butter and a nice Honeycrisp.

Uh. yeah.

I don't get it.

It improved neither the peanut butter nor the apple.

Well, derhey, peanuts butter. Think caramel apples mit der nutz all uber dem.

And as far as H.Crisp goes, there is no improving on them. You need to go for a more "apple-y" apple.

We have a gas cooktop and it's stainless steel. I'm pretty happy with it except in one spot someone tried to scrub something off and it has a bit of a smudge on the shine now, but mostly I love it. Especially now you can get those stainless steel wipes that keep it looking so shiny and new.

And it had bee poop in it. I may be willing to sacrifice another slice of apple to this project, with some plain old Jif, but I dont think anything will taste like caramel apples unless I take a bite of a Brach's caramel first.

??? Are you saying it costs a lot for stainless steel?

Just a note, over here, black cooktops are very rare. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen one.

They're almost all stainless steel or a colour (including white). Lots of people reno their kitchens and decide on a colour scheme for their appliances and then go for cooktop, dishwasher, fridge and microwave and kettle all in that colour. The most popular is stainless steel, but you can choose almost any colour you like really if you're willing to pay the money.
