My neighbors are the ones who usually do the hosting.  I'm not sure about
the ones across the street this year; the husband was in the hospital for
months and I'm not even sure he's home yet.  Surgical complications and
other junk...no fun.

There is that.  It's usually only older homes or serious gourmet set-ups
that have 'em these days.

Good deal.  My oven is electic but the stovetop is gas.

It may have been.  I've never had a problem fitting a 25-pound bird in
mine.  Some of the old 50s ones were pretty tiny though, so if she had an
older wall slot for a small oven that could have been it.  The one previous
to the one I have now was as old as the house, although not original to it,
and that one could handle the biggest wedding cake pan Wilton makes.  I'm
not sure about this one; I haven't used that pan in about ten years.
