I'd have to see if I could find it and what it would cost.
I'm not worried about weight if I can get broken mirror for free. :-)

Ya did good. <hugs>

I'm seriously interested in taking advantage of summer heat here.
No real reason not to.

I'd have to re-learn cooking times and figure out thermometers, but I'm
