Looking forward to our first "The Stove is Working Again!" meal

Hopefully I can get the electrician in here this week to get our electrical work done asap.  We wouldn't be nearly as excited about having electrical work done except we have been living without a working stove/oven for almost 18 months!!!  This is because there was a real problem with the electricity to the stove.  Dan attempted to work it out and couldn't, so since the day we moved in here we've had to rely solely on our microwave, our frying pan/electric skillet, crock pot, and take-out for our meals.  During the warmer months, we've also enjoyed Dan's grilling.  It's been do-able, but definitely NOT ideal.  Oh my god how I've missed baking! 

Just to give a little back story on this, the stove worked when we moved in.  The lights came on, the burners and oven heated up, which was great because we had to leave our brand new stainless appliances at the house in Rice when the bank wouldn't let us have them :(   So, the appliance worked and we still had our last fridge from Sauk Rapids that Dan kept as a beer fridge in our Rice garage.  Well, the day we were moving into Everhaven, we were going to have frozen pizzas for lunch (an easy meal in the middle of a move) and I went to preheat the oven and ....nothing.  It stopped working.  So, incidentally, did our master bedroom lights.  In the midst of the move, we figured maybe we'd blown a fuse, we made sandwiches instead and went on with the moving.  Later on, Dan changed a fuse or two and as he was tinkering with the oven to see if it worked, he turned the knob for the oven and our bedroom lights came on!  We had discovered a mystery that would baffle every person we know with any electrical experience - somehow our bedroom lights and the stove were criss crossed together and it took the oven being constantly in the on position, though NOT working itself, to have lights in our bedroom.  Dan, Christian, and his dad tried to fix it once but only managed to get our bedroom sorted out and working on it's own.  The oven still has not worked.  We think it will work once the electrical part is remedied, but I suppose we better be ready to buy a new stove.  But whenever we have a working stove and oven again, we can't wait to get back to some of our favorite meals that require a stove top or oven to prepare!

Earlier, I came up with an idea - because this is a pretty big deal to us - that each person will submit one meal and one dessert choice that requires the oven.  We'll draw the "winner" and have our first "The Stove Is Working Again!" meal.  We can't wait!
