    At times I wish I had two ovens, not so much now but when the girls
    were still living at home. The oven I liked the most was in the post housing on Fort Hood--it was built into the wall. Stove top was a
    counter top model, IIRC, gas. Our older daughter's kitchen has a
    stacking built into the wall microwave on top, oven on bottom unit and
    a counter top almost professional gas cook top. The oven doesn't seem
    to be as big, maybe because putting the microwave on top limits its
    size.

    I had a double wall oven (electric) when I lived in the tin can. My top
    oven was abot 2/3 the size of the bottom unit. When I did Thanksgiving
    dinner dishes for a family get together I did the turkey in the bottom
    and pies in the top. Side dishes, salads, and starters were provided by
    others.

    When I do my dream kitchen I think I'll go for the convection/nuker as
    the top unit.

    2 c A-P flour

    lard with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture
    resembles coarse crumbs.

    Sprinkle in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending
    gently with a fork or pastry blender until all flour is

    Hi Dave,

    stacking built into the wall microwave on top, oven on bottom unit and
    a counter top almost professional gas cook top. The oven doesn't seem
    to be as big, maybe because putting the microwave on top limits its
    size.

    I had a double wall oven (electric) when I lived in the tin can. My
    top oven was abot 2/3 the size of the bottom unit. When I did
    Thanksgiving
    dinner dishes for a family get together I did the turkey in the bottom
    and pies in the top. Side dishes, salads, and starters were provided
    by others.

    We've been smoking a turkey the last few years we've been home for Thanksgiving. Last year we were up in NY with Steve's family, almost had
    fresh venison for dinner. As Steve and I were on the way to his sister's
    house in the early afternoon, a deer jumped out in front of the truck.
    Steve stood on the brakes, stopped about a foot short of hitting it.


    When I do my dream kitchen I think I'll go for the convection/nuker as
    the top unit.

    We had that in our first camper, worked ok but couldn't do anything big
    in it. New camper has a regular oven, can do a small turkey in it but
    it's not convection. Stove at home has a combo convection/regular oven,
    full size microwave above it.

    That "free" veison can get quite expensive if it's Bambi by Bumper. A
    local body shop here runs a billboard every couple of years with the
    message "If you got your deer by accident come see us for an estimate"

    It goes without saying the "big' oven would be fan forced as well as
    standard. I have a toaster oven for counter-top use that is also an air fryer/convection oven. It lives in the utility closet with the furnace
    and water heater until I clear enough of my (very) limited counter space
    to bring it out and use it.

    Hi Dave,

    We've been smoking a turkey the last few years we've been home for Thanksgiving. Last year we were up in NY with Steve's family, almost
    had fresh venison for dinner. As Steve and I were on the way to his sister's house in the early afternoon, a deer jumped out in front of

    That "free" veison can get quite expensive if it's Bambi by Bumper. A local body shop here runs a billboard every couple of years with the message "If you got your deer by accident come see us for an estimate"

    That's why a lot of trucks in deer areas have bumper guards, to
    (hopefully) deflect the worst of the impact. Years ago, riding home from college on break, with a friend, as we turned onto one road, I cautioned
    him about the road being notorious for deer hits. I'd barely gotten the
    words out of my mouth when we saw one on the side of the road. He stayed
    there and we didn't see any more the rest of the trip. Now when Steve
    and I travel, especially around dusk and in an area with lots of open
    fields, I keep my eyes roving.

    When I do my dream kitchen I think I'll go for the convection/nuker
    as DD> the top unit.

    We had that in our first camper, worked ok but couldn't do anything big
    in it. New camper has a regular oven, can do a small turkey in it but

    and water heater until I clear enough of my (very) limited counter
    space to bring it out and use it.

    OTOH our toaster/convection oven lives on a counter top right by the
    stove. It gets used quite often; yesterday I toasted half a bagel in the morning and baked some short cakes (to go with fresh strawberries) in
    the afternoon.
