Good cornbread!

Good morning,
So the new range is finally set up and working. I had to breakdown and have a repairman come to set the burners. When I installed the jets, none were marked in any way for how they to be put in. There are three different sizes of jets - one for the oven, one for the "power burner," and three for the remaining burners. As it turned out, I had the oven right, but the burners were different - two right and one two wrong. The "power burner" is supposed to be on the left front and I had it on the right front. Of course the "power burner" was the first I tried to adjust. I thought the only adjustment on it was the shutter, but it turns out there is also a jet adjustment too, through the knob stem. I didn’t expect that at all as that is something new, in the last 25 years, for gas ranges, at least those I carried except for oven adjustments. There is a local Whirlpool dealer it turns out in Luxemburg, who came out to do a warranty call. I had called Whirlpool’s Customer Service line and they finally directed me to the dealer.
Margriet gave the stove a workout, making chicken and cornbread for supper last night. Turned out just fine as I ate too much! Of course the range oven left some additional aroma as it was heated for the first time. Forgot it should have been "seasoned" by some extended heating before using it. Oh well, the cornbread sure tasted good with some honey on it!
The dealership turns out to be a hardware store I didn’t even know existed! It is a real hardware store of the old-fashioned kind, not one that has been modernized into a super market. I think I have found a good place to buy my hardware needs. The store has two technicians and both came out on the service call - they had a delivery to make on the way back. They didn’t have a screwdriver along small enough to make the necessary adjustment, so I went to the tool box in the car and found the screwdriver I used for the same purpose. I had re-ground a small screwdriver for that purpose to adjust oven valves and electric range controls. Kind of weird, since I have carried it all these years and I don’t think I have used it since closing the store.
I spent most of the day cleaning out the van and Margriet cleaning the house and laundry. The van got a really good cleaning. It had not been done for a while. Got everything cleaner, except the windows, when it started to rain. Guess we will look at some semi-dirty vistas on our trip. I also found that many of the screws holding in various interior trim are loosening or out of their places. Have to pick up some new ones if I can and redo them. Always something.
So I guess this will be some short this morning. Have to get the suitcase packed and in the van, ready to get going after church. I am the reader also this morning. Time to get the day a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
Chris <><
