Kitchen Music on the Edison Triumph

Being the good husband that I am, I set up this B model Triumph in the kitchen so that I could serenade my wife while she's cooking. Haven't seen her look so disappointed since that time she asked for a new diamond and I got her that one from Steve Medved.

I come up with a lot of great ideas. It's just that nobody else thinks so.

Is that what a Czech kitchen looks like? It is nothing like my grandmother's description of this room. How disappointing, though the photograph shows that your kitchen is a sleek, stylish and attractive space.

You grandmother U.V. probably described a small room separated from the rest of the house by a door which was most often closed, dorm sized refrigerator & double burner stove with a small electric oven, (pictured) that sat on the counter. These ovens, (Remoska)are still popular today especially for apartment dwellers and are very efficient.

In the countryside you can still sometimes but rarely find the cottages, one or two rooms with the big stone oven which also heated one room, something like the one pictured. Someone, often kids, slept on top of the oven at night.

Nowadays the Czech kitchens, European kitchens in general are found in all shapes and sizes but still typically smaller and certainly with smaller refrigerators, ovens than one finds on the west side of the big pond.

Boy talk about going off topic!!!
