It kept the teakettle hot for hours!<br /><br />Living that way is rough. No doubt about it. But since I was young and knew no other way of life, it wasn't terrible. Not until I got to school and discovered that I was in a minority. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for visiting. :-)Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-7870834454323106912013-04-12T22:13:58.475-04:002013-04-12T22:13:58.475-04:00;-) Electric or gas or woodstove, there is somethi...;-) Electric or gas or woodstove, there is something so comforting--so ritual about "Putting the kettle on--we'll have tea." ;-)<br /><br />Thanks, Chontali! :-)Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-26637114638711759482013-04-12T22:07:53.766-04:002013-04-12T22:07:53.766-04:00My kettle is always on the stove too.

I never made soup for more than 6, so I never had the need for a soup kettle. <br />When you talked about not having hot running water, I wondered what that would be like. When we were hit by hurricane Sandy, we lost electricity for a few days. I stopped myself from whining about it though, because that was minor compared to what so many other people lost. <br />lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-48599998575855930042013-04-12T21:43:08.946-04:002013-04-12T21:43:08.946-04:00Since the beginning of this year, I've been us...Since the beginning of this year, I've been using an electric tea kettle. Prior to this year, I used a tea kettle on the stove. I've never owned a soup kettle but they are lovely! <br /><br />Chontali Kirk<br /><a href="http://www.chontalikirk.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">chontalikirk.blogspot.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530419329233270590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696914224277711875.post-43717086815660036402013-04-12T21:29:55.283-04:002013-04-12T21:29:55.283-04:00Thanks, Munir! :-) Too funny--the things we think ...Thanks, Munir! :-) Too funny--the things we think when we're just kids.
