With electric, the plates take a while to get going, and to cool down, and i tend to get bored and wander off to do something, then forget I am cooking till that familiar aroma of smoke wafts through to remind me! Thanks for the award!<BR/>Shirley, I wish our planners were that eco friendly and organised! There is lots of scope for sun and wind and hydro power here. <BR/>Janet, ya it's silly how we get so sucked into the unnecessary appliance thing! And even with the doom and gloom predictions people still keep buying the latest status symbol gadget.<BR/>Lindsay...hee hee, and this is me in laid back mode! Looking forward to seeing Hugh's latest work, I am mad about his paintings!Suzi-khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338300048993883066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34333289.post-22842207572982527232007-07-11T21:09:00.000+02:002007-07-11T21:09:00.000+02:00Blimey, what a lot I've missed - power cuts and ga...Blimey, what a lot I've missed - power cuts and gas hobs and anniversary photographs and a joint exhibition and a new book - you don't hang about, do you?!<BR/>Have finally got some pics of Hugh's work and will shout about them v soon.Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573486103107798262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34333289.post-31801914084198446592007-07-09T22:22:00.000+02:002007-07-09T22:22:00.000+02:00I hate cooking on electric but then I mostly hate ...I hate cooking on electric but then I mostly hate cooking period!<BR/><BR/>Don't get me started on electricity as California is always under some doom and gloom prediction about the lack of it. And yet companies manufacture electronics that never turn off completely! And every time you turn around there's another new gadget that has been electrified. Makes no sense to me. I use energy efficient lightbulbs and appliances but still pay a fortune in electric bills.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084823218319628822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34333289.post-54189297956578271852007-07-09T20:51:00.000+02:002007-07-09T20:51:00.000+02:00Oh they had those basket things here in Oamaru too...Oh they had those basket things here in Oamaru too, more for rescuing people I think.<BR/><BR/>New Zealand is nuclear-free, so we have to generate our electricity with coal, wind and hydro.Shirley Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479768160284996206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34333289.post-26929584705831560512007-07-09T08:42:00.000+02:002007-07-09T08:42:00.000+02:00I've always used gas and find it difficult to cook...I've always used gas and find it difficult to cook with electric. I like the instant "switch off" on the hob with gas....I once made a terrible mess of my sister-in-laws hob as I didn't realise when I turned the electric ring off the heat would remain for a while and boil the milk over!!!<BR/>I've given you a Thinking Bloggers Award on <A HREF="http://ruth-boofie.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow"/>There are a million storiesRUTHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389012059140660415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34333289.post-75106551818391400282007-07-09T06:18:00.000+02:002007-07-09T06:18:00.000+02:00my question is...what is a hob?
