September 9, 2011

My apartment is ridiculously old.  It is so dated, I can't even estimate how old the appliances and air conditioner are.  Everything is ridiculously loud or entirely inefficient.  The dishwasher sounds like a jet engine and isn't properly secured into the cabinetry.  The air conditioner, similarly, is as loud as a utility-sized air compressor and, although it is tightly bolted in place, doesn't accurately reflect the temperature in my apartment.  The stove, however, is the ultimate terrible appliance.  Every single time I use it, my smoke detectors start screaming incessantly, despite my never having burned a single dish in this apartment.  It is not uncommon to see both of them on my kitchen table, as I know I'll just have to take them off the wall and unplug them the next time I use the stove.  After an hour or so of cooking tonight, part of which included roasting poblanos, these two life savers were summarily retired.
