I've cooked on both for many years... you'll get used to electric. And while electric stovetop is a little less responsive than gas, the real positive is that an electric oven bakes MUCH more evenly than a gas one. I have a gas oven now and I curse it every time I pull a lopsided cake out of the oven! The other plus in my mind is that electric wastes less energy, since the pot is directly on the element--which means it doesn't put off as much excess heat in the summer! Of the electric ones I've used, the glass top ones are the best--so easy to clean...

So do diapers go in brown or green layers in your compost bin?

I would look for a pale mint green (not too blue-ey or it will clash with the neon green on the bedspread) or maybe a lavendar.

Breakfast is what kept me coming back to my new sweetie's house... Nothing quite so endearing as a man getting up earlier than he has to, to fry bacon and butter toast for you. Stock up on good bread, jam, and butter, farm-fresh eggs, and fresh fruit. (and great bacon/sausage if the new snookums eats meat!)

Thanks, everyone! This is exactly the kind of help I need. Landscaping is definitely a next step I'm eager to start. (Though I find it hilarious that people guessed we're in the desert; more like Southeast. Ha!)

And I hear you, we'll definitely keep/replace the shutters with wider, shorter, darker...

Thanks so much.

Stairs! I was convinced that 2-story houses were reserved for the rich and famous. I am unduly proud to have stairs in my house as an adult.
