My grandma had an eight burner two ovens griddle top Kenilworth

And man could she cook with it.....cornbread in a skillet ....white cornbread....not that yellow cake stuff

My maternal great grandma who I stayed with on occasion when wee......she used an enamel wood stove and cooked hell out of it....no power , well water, outhouse

Six room shotgun house on stilts....Smith county Mississippi

Fireplace in most rooms.....well out front ....tin roof collector that gathered in cistern on back porch.....it was like camping out....with oil lamps at night and the cacophony of frogs and crickets ....
