Happy Monday January 9, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.
My cold isn’t wholly gone, but I’m considerably improved from last week-thanks to you all for the kind sentiments & good thoughts. Glad you're feeling better, cloven!

Today’s Question:
How many burners does your cooking stove/range have ? Are they different sizes ? Four, two large, two smaller.
Does your stovetop have (removable) wells/drip pans under the burners ? If so, have you had to clean or replace them ? Have had, but current stove I just remove the grates to clean.

Extra Credit:

In winter, do you switch to snow tires ?
Have bought studded tires in the past, but not with the Outback. I've had not problem getting up my hill or driveway with the subi.
Do you have a custom steering wheel cover ? Has a leather cover
Have you had to replace your car’s…
-floor mats ?
-windshield wiper blades ?
-headlights, brake lights, turn signals ? Newish, 2015 subi. Haven't replaced anything.

Bonus:
Vegetables and/or fruit-if you can’t get them fresh...
do you prefer them from a can, frozen, or wait ’til they're in season again ? Mostly frozen

Just for Fun:
Do you have anything with a fake (not real) woodgrain decorative surface ? Some of the trim in the car

Wishing you a toasty cozy day…if it’s as chilly & frozen there (where you are) as it is here
Waking up to -2 F here. I always feel sorry for kiddos out waiting for buses. No morning recess today. It IS supposed to warm up to a balmy 18F. Looking forward to the middle of the week where it's predicted to be in high 30s, low 40s!

Four. All the same size.


Does your stovetop have (removable) wells/drip pans under the burners ? If so, have you had to clean or replace them ?


There are things under there. I guess that's what they're called.

Not needed here.


Do you have a custom steering wheel cover ?[color=DarkRed][b]
Have you had to replace your car’s…
-floor mats ?
-windshield wiper blades ?
-headlights, brake lights, turn signals ?


No to all.


Bonus:
Vegetables and/or fruit-if you can’t get them fresh...
do you prefer them from a can, frozen, or wait ’til they're in season again ?


Frozen sometimes if I'm just going to use it as an ingredient in something. Fresh if I'm going to have it in salad. I rarely buy canned. Just depends on what it is and what I need it for.




Just for Fun:

Not that I can think of, but I wouldn't mind having one of those old station wagons with the faux wood sidings. Serious.

I'm happy to report that there's NO SNOW in Phoenix this week or next, sunshine and warm weather, and this afternoon maybe a 20% chance of light rain..... It's 50 degrees at this hour of the early morning and it's still dark outside at 7:15am.

My cold isn’t wholly gone, but I’m considerably improved from last week-thanks to you all for the kind sentiments & good thoughts.

Today’s Question:
How many burners does your cooking stove/range have ? Are they different sizes ?There are 5. I love the big one in the middle. It's perfect for blanching those big pots of veggies to put in the freezer if ever mutt comes for a visit.
Does your stovetop have (removable) wells/drip pans under the burners ? If so, have you had to clean or replace them ? There's only a small part that's removeable and yes I have to clean the top often. I cook veggies every day.

Extra Credit:

In winter, do you switch to snow tires ? No but I did get rid of the Yokohama racing tires that came with the car and switched over to something that has more tread.

Do you have a custom steering wheel cover ? No
Have you had to replace your car’s…
-floor mats ? Yes
-windshield wiper blades ?Yes
-headlights, brake lights, turn signals ? I have a light out now.

Bonus:
Vegetables and/or fruit-if you can’t get them fresh...
do you prefer them from a can, frozen, or wait ’til they're in season again ?Fresh is best and nothing comes out of a can except for an occasional can of beans in our house. I'm running out of frozen veggies from the freezer, especially tomatoes.

Thanks Cloven. I'll be on the ice today having fun with our Indian friends and their 4 year old. She's spoiled now and wants John and I to haul her around instead of trying to skate on her own.
