Cooking

I took today off.  A perfect Monday to stay home.  It was cold and rainy all day long.  It was wonderful to just take it easy and to have a quiet day.

I decided to cook supper tonight.  In doing so, I realized that the two back burners do not work. 

Now, the natural question someone would ask is, "How long have they not worked?".  But this is where, my dear friends, lies the rub.

I can’t remember the last time I used the back burners. It has been awhile since I’ve used even two but the back burners?  Gosh…. the closest occasion I can think of as a possibility would be Mother’s Day.

Yes, Mother’s Day.  In May.  Today is October 22. 

But I’m not sure I even used it then.  I think I only used two burners that day.

So . . . how long have my back burners not functioned?

I have no idea.
