Working on it

legalmooseI had to go buy a new dishwasher for the old apartment, because after we moved out but before it was listed the damned thing that was in there died. It was on its last leg, but I was hoping it would stay up until the place sold. Ah well, cheap-o dishwasher replacement it is. Now if the place would just effing sell already, as I would like to have only one mortgage, thankyouverymuch.
Still trying to get used to cooking on gas. I think the last time I cooked with gas was when I was an undergraduate, sometime late in the previous century. So trying to match burner sizes with pots has been a challenge (there are four burners plus a center griddle, and the burners are all different sizes, from 'small' to 'extra large'). Medium and large seem to be my go-tos at the moment, which is kind of obnoxious because they're both on one side of the stove (small to extra large, going counter clockwise, starting at 2:00, to 10, to 6, to 4, so they're both on the left side). I think I will look at a one of the fancier ones with multiple rings of flame when this one dies - it just seems like a waste of heat when it all just hits the outside of the bottom of the pan (unlike electric, which heated the whole bottom of the pan, albeit more slowly).
But at least we've (mostly) mastered cooking without the fire alarm going off. ;)
The white drapes the previous owners left in my office are a delightful magnet for black cat hair (he typed, while being nudged by said black cat for not paying attention to him).
Managed to haul out my knitting for the first time since we moved, and powered through a couple sets of the pattern (I'm supposed to do something like 16 sets of 16 rows for this scarf, and I'm on set 7, row 6 as of last night - I was at set 4 row 12 before this week). I might actually get it done before it gets cold enough to wear it. Maybe.
