Mine's a 1946 GE Liberator, only stove that's been in this 1946 house. But for the fact it's electric, I would love it with all my heart. I suffer the electric for the steadfastness & charm of this old beauty. Everything still works except the clock & the built-in meat thermometer.
I wasn't very adventurous about dinner tonight. I decided to cook with what I had on hand. I'd spent the afternoon in the back of my 911 with a McGyver'd steam hose, removing the last bits of window tint that I couldn't reach on the first go with the steamer's original nozzle. Job done! But I was a bit of a steamy mess.
I had on hand: frozen skinless chicken breasts, fresh baby spinach, Basmati rice, provolone and shredded cheddar cheese. Put 2 c uncooked rice into the bottom of a greased baking pan, added spices liberally (salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried onion, bit of thyme), piled on baby spinach, set the chicken on top, added maybe 3 cups water and 1/2 c lemon juice, covered with foil and baked about 45 minutes at 350. Removed the foil, added another cup of water, piled on cheeses, and returned to the oven uncovered for another 15 mins. Hubby and I were very happy with the outcome. It'll make a few good lunches this week as well. We're calling it Cheesy Chicken Spinach Casserole.
