Cooks of the world, unite!
What this world really needs is a floating cooktop – lowers to allow smaller people to cook without having to stand on a stool, raises so that someone over 5’ 6" doesn’t have to slump over and aggravate my back condition. Get busy, inventors!
No, you’re quite right. I was terribly disappointed and felt quite punished.
I get my grandson today though and he has expressed an interest in being a chef so we’ll see if he wants to do anything. He’s so picky though, I have a feeling it’ll be quite difficult.
