Hehe.. this kitchen would be great then.. See, it was two apartments down here
each with their own kitchen.. we've returned the entire downstairs into one
living-space but will retain the two kitchens.. One kitchen opens right into
the other one, so there are two stoves/ovens right there <g>.

Yes, could be a time saver.. heh.. when you got here, we'd have to take you
over to the asian import store :)  There are a few in Binghamton :)  I usually
go nuts in there <grin>

Are these Lodge cast iron pans?  I have a whole set of Wagner's cast iron
pans.. they're great!  I bought them when we were living in Louisville KY..
This store didn't sell Lodge stuff but I'd heard they were also great.  I
contacted Lodge recently because I'd heard they once made a cast iron bread pan
(regular loaf size), but they told me they stopped making that :( :( That pan
is going for quite a bit on e-bay sadly enough :(

That must be really nice :)

Maybe have him talk to some Lab owners.. they'll be happy to tell him of
they're loss of house, etc. Not to mention the size of the poops! Lol

Take care,
Janis
