    My struggles with my new oven are well documented.

  • **UPDATE** In a shocking turn of events the weather has changed again. You can imagine my surprise when, after seeing bright sunshine out of my window, I was greeted with ridiculously cold air and 40-degree temps upon leaving the house this morning. No fake bundling for me. While my western counterparts have been freezing their…Keep…
