We have a story of rotten timing. When we bought our new house, we bought some new appliances to go with it. Thinking we would really like it, we decided to buy one of those ceramic glass cooktop (flattop) ranges. We've liked it pretty well - it's easy to clean. Well, yesterday after we finished cooking dinner we noticed a small crack in the glass cooktop. A few minutes later the small crack had spread all the way across the top in several directions making all the burners virtually unusable.
On any normal week this would have not been a big deal. The glass top has a warranty so we can get that replaced and we could normally handle a few days without a stove. But, we're hosting Thanksgiving dinner for 16 people tomorrow! It couldn't have happened at a worse time! We can still do the turkey - we just haven't quite figured out how to do mashed potatoes and gravy in the microwave. Maybe we can rig up something in the fireplace? We'll figure something out!

Oh what a nightmare! I know you'll be able to figure something out. Good luck! We're so sad we can't be there for Thanksgiving. Shane is stuck at work today with not a lot to do and hardly ANYONE else is there! We'll be thinking of you!
How awful. Do you have a camp stove? Good luck!
Nothing can be too easy, right? Just think of the story you'll have to tell in years to come. Remember the ping pong table Thanksgiving? I got that story published in the Newspaper as the most forgettable Thanksgiving.
Maybe you can have a pioneer Thanksgiving and only make things you can cook over an open fire. Or I'm sure there's instant mashed potatoes that could be made in the microwave. Gravy on the other hand, I'm not so sure about.
Its great to have you back on. Loved the pictures of Halloween. Our first thanksgiving on Guam we had a whole bunch of people coming and discovered about the time we should have been serving that our oven was out! Don't remember how we solved it but everybody was good about it. And then of course the famous table falling.
