I can't really picture that. Yes, the stove is on, I'm
making pot roast. How does it know I'm not cooking.
Sounds like way more trouble than it's worth.

I am one to wander off and forget I'm making hard boiled
eggs, I admit it. Stupid. I should get one of those timers
you wear around your neck. Going to order one right now,
as I'm thinking of it.

They have that available for some time now, never felt the
need for it.

Hmmm, I don't think so. I'm okay with the vegetable drawer,
I'm not thinking to have live lettuces/whatever growing.

Wouldn't look too nice in my house, one reason I don't have
a glass front refrigerator. Only one reason. Heh, I can't find
stuff when I have the door open sometimes, don't know if a
picture would really help.

You know what I would like? A spoon that would tell you the
food has gone bad. That's something I could get behind. Is this
chicken bad? Touch it with the spoon, turns color. Now we're
talking.

I've seen those, interesting. Wonder how long they'd last.
