Today was the day I decided to do cookies. I mixed up my dough for press cookies and had the dough all divided and colored and ready to bake. I had the oven preheating while I mixed. The first 2 trays came out wonderful. The second 2 trays the top one baked fine but the lower one was not done at all! After several times of switching the trays around to get them to bake, I wondered why they were not cooking well. Turns out the bottom heating element wasn't working! By this time it is late afternoon and the appliance stores are all closed. DH took out the old one and checked the electricity. He figured it was just the element. So I continued and just used to top rack for a few trays. Then, the whole stove shut off! I shorted out the breaker with one of lower element wires hitting the oven floor. So now I am without an oven. I did manage to get most of the cookies baked. I burned 2 trays from the top but the others came out okay. DH managed to get the stovetop working so everything else will have to be stove top cooked. I was so looking forward a new breakfast casserole dish for tomorrow. Now it will just be scrambled eggs. Maybe we can get the thing fixed before New Year's. We really need a new stove but have no money at the moment for a new one. Will have to start watching the sales.
