I wish my Mother could make Chicken fried steak again... but she's on oxygen now and can't go near the gas stove.

Get electric!

I wish... but she's like, "no, that would be too expensive" or "no, I'm fine, really, No". I think that's my Mother's way of saying, "I'm never cooking again, get busy".

Now she just sits over in the corner and watches me cook. Watches VERY closely, and asks if I'm going to burn all her cookware, and if I do I'll have to scrub the copper-bottom pan til it's pure again. Then she starts for the stove and says, "Oh, here let me do it" so then I relent and do it exactly the way she says, because I don't want us to all die in a flaming oxygenated fireball.

Yessiree bob, I think she's got it made... but I still wish she could make a Chicken Fried Steak again.

Get electric!

Wouldn't work the same. Do you know how long it took me to get used to an electric stove, after having learned to cook on gas?
