cooktopless

Only when you are deprived of them do you realize how much you use, thus how much you miss certain things. Like a cooktop. Since the fire incident last week we are without one. I'm sure this will be solved in the next days, but the experience is teaching me how much one can miss boiling water for tea. Or eggs, for that matter. Cooking pasta, or making a soup. Grilling steaks, and sandwiches. Frying any kind of stuff. Brewing coffee in a tiny Bialetti. There are so many things one can do with a little fire...
