Damn...

Anyone know if you can boil an egg in an electric kettle? How about pasta? Can you fry an egg in a toaster oven? Can you toast soup? I don't do much cooking (Not that I can't, I'm just lazy and never bothered buying much in the way of cooking implements and ingredients when I left home), but what cooking I do do usually involves either boiling water on the stove and throwing things in or heating up soup. And today my stove decided to die. Of course, I don't have a microwave because that would be too useful at this point. After not having one for a few years, I didn't miss it much and then it was microwave or toaster oven because I don't have room for more then one in my tiny kitchen so I went with toaster oven because I didn't have a toaster and the oven never really worked. I shouldn't be surprised that the stove died. The silly thing is probably from the seventies or possibly sixties and has one knob for two burners: 1 is high for the front burner, 2 is high for the back burner, 3 is high for the front burner and medium for the back burner, 4 is medium for the back burner, 5 is medium for the front burner and low for the back burner, and 6 and 7 are just so low I never use them. And the oven would only turn on if you had the burners on 4 to 7. You never know how important a thing is until its gone. Now half the food in my fridge seems useless. Of course, my dad just trumped me by phoning to tell me he hadn't had hot water for two weeks. I'm really hoping it doesn't take that long to replace/fix the stove. I have my fingers crossed for a replacement. My landlady is nice and I haven't asked for anything before. The problem though is there isn't even a proper outlet in that corner. It has two prong holes instead of three so they would need to rewire my place a bit as well.
