[Magdalen] Oatmeal time

[Esther Williamson]

And I would love to have gas since that is what I am used to. The lines 
haven't been run to this house and I'm not about to pay for it. On the 
other hand a wall oven would put an end to my baking or roasting. I can 
use the bad arm to help steady a pan to take from the oven to the 
counter top but no way could I lift a pan up and into a wall oven or out 
again. It is all rather moot at this point as I am  now receiving meals 
on wheels which I loosely classify as food. I'm eating lots of 
sandwiches when I can't stomach my meal for the day.
