You wouldn't usually find an Aga in a council house or a mid range suburban semi so it automatically indicated that you lived in a desirable property and had pots of money. Again the pots of money thing isn't necessarily true but the desirable property thing is. I don't own an Aga but as I am always always cold I think I would like to own one as I believe I could sit next to it and feel warm! libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-57633962268414720002013-05-26T08:53:00.077+01:002013-05-26T08:53:00.077+01:00I used to have an aga - it was bottle green and lo...I used to have an aga - it was bottle green and looked lovel in my Edwardian kitchen.

All my life, I've been used to electric kitchen stoves, and for the past 15 years or so, I've been cooking on the flat-surfaced type of stove that is called Ceram in Germany. I am spooked by gas fire and find it a challenge to use the little two-flame cooker on my parents' allotment when we want to have coffee there, and if possible, I always have someone else do that.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-36762614282648145312013-05-26T05:52:57.058+01:002013-05-26T05:52:57.058+01:00The arm burns have made me feel like a lesser-stri...The arm burns have made me feel like a lesser-striped member of some sort of strange species that recognise each other from the scars, but I love my Aga because I don't have to remember to turn it on to warm up or think about temperatures or time. It's just about hot and less hot. Because of the lack of cooking smells, I did leave once some sausages in the hot oven for twenty four hours. But they were useful carbon briquettes for the fire.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-50368541856244944382013-05-26T05:44:22.686+01:002013-05-26T05:44:22.686+01:00Now this Canadian knows more than I've ever kn...Now this Canadian knows more than I've ever known about the Aga. (And I love your Aga Saga title, Frances.) <br />I'm sure your son thought you were all excited by his visit, and made a mistake because of it, and, as everyone knows, it's the thought that counts, so he knows you made him a lemon meringue pie.<br />KKay L.
