Moving Day! Good bye to my favorite appliance, my oven (sad face)

Today is moving day, which is probably why I have not worked out yet but that is beside the point.  The move is bittersweet for me. My husband bought our house before I met him and I came and made it our home.  I know that home is where the heart is but I will definitely miss my stove! LOL I'll miss a lot more but the stove for sure. 

There comes a time for every appliance to die.  The oven component of our stove crapped out about a year ago and we replaced it with a stainless steel Frigidaire smart convection stove.  It has five burners, including two rapid boil, one simmer, one regular and my favorite - a long burner with a griddle attachment.  The perfect burner for making gravy from a roasting pan or doing anything in large quanitites.  The smart convect oven cooks perfect potatoes in like half the time and I just love the whole thing!  We are moving to a separate stove-top and a double oven, one door is broken but that will be fixed next week. It should expand my cooking options by a bazillion!

In the mean time, we made beef and broccoli stir fry with brown rice.  It was delicious but I always feel like some flavor component is missing in every stir fry we make.  Probably msg, lol.  Here is a link to the recipe we used: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Stir-Fried-Beef-and-Broccoli-13212?mbid=ipapp

And by we, I mean my husband, because as many who know me know and you will soon find out I cannot follow a recipe to save my life. My relationship with recipes will be explained in a different post.
