      NOW YOU'RE COOKING!

   It's amazing to realize how many changes

have come along over the years in the way

people cooked their food! Many years before

Jesus the Chineese came up with a device

that totally enclosed fire/ So, they could cook

on it/ Wood wasthe dominent fule. Ben Franklin

invented the "modern" wood stove although his

fist design was far from perfect! It released the

smoke from the bottom of the ove! After a few

smoke filled rooms it was dedesigned with a

chimney on top! For many years people in places

like northeastern Pennsylvania used coal stoves

to both cook their food and heat their houses!

Eventually, however, coal stoves fell out of

favor as people discovered the convience of gas

stoves. Then, on this day in  1896 Bill Hadaway

changed everything with his panent for the

electric stove and oven! Of course Bill's design

has undergone all kinds of improvements over

the years. It's even been replaced in some cases

by the microwave oven! All those changes and

options and yet...it's hard to beat the taste of a

hot dog on the end of a stick cooked over an

open campfire! Well how even you cook your

food, Bon Appetit! Hope all your NEWS is good!
