Another Household Expense

The oven in our house is really old, and we knew it wouldn't last forever... can you see where this is going. Leah's birthday party was on Saturday and I decided to serve frozen pizzas for dinner. First problem was the pizza's are supposed to cook at 425 degrees. Well our oven has been working, but only at 350 degrees for a little while. We made a total of 4 naturally rising pizzas (two at a time) which each were supposed to cook for 20 or 25 minutes. So in theory we should have been able to eat in no more than an hour after I put the first pizza in. Well two hours later we were finally sitting down to our pizza... I think thats a bad sign. The burners on the stove still work fine... but now that winter is coming up I'm going to want to bake in the oven more and its probably not very energy efficient to have to cook things for so long.... let alone the fact that not everything will turn out when baked at 350 degrees. So it looks like this guy and this guy will be finding a new home in my kitchen on thursday. Good thing we have some Lowes gift cards and a 10% off coupon... that will make it a little more affordable. We are still working really hard at paying our new central heat and air we had installed when our main window airconditioner died on us in the hottest part of the summer. Oh the joys of homeownership.
