My hubby was in charge of that but would never burn it fast enough. So one day I tried. How hard could it be? I used too much lighter fluid and caught my hair on fire. I never again burned trash.<br /><br />When I was about 20 I lived in this apartment where you had to shut the gas off after you used the stove. There was a leak and we had a crappy landlord. So you always had to relight the stove if you wanted to use it. I barely did.To the Toy Box and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664470779483733379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-65872697416828718982012-02-02T16:46:51.228-08:002012-02-02T16:46:51.228-08:00Anyone thinking about the romance of an old-fashio...Anyone thinking about the romance of an old-fashioned kitchen should read this.
