stove

I came home a little early and Ariel was here. We talked about switchplates and switches and other details while he obsessively wiped down various surfaces. I joked that maybe I should have him come over every week or so to clean except that his rate would probably be too high. After he left I cooked on my new stove -- which, of course, has way more BTUs than I will ever need. I had to soak the blackened tomato and egg residue off the edges of the pan. But that had no bearing on the meal itself, which was fine in a basic sort of way.
