I've eaten out a lot this week.

Not that I wanted to, but our oven just up and quit working a few days ago. I thought maybe the fuses had gone, but we went and got new ones and that didn't fix anything. So I now have to read up on the Internet on appliance repair, or get a new oven. We were going to get a new one at some point anyway, but it wasn't high on the priority list. Plus we wanted our next oven to have a flat top instead of a coil top, but I can't find any flat tops in the size we need. We need the apartment size which is 24" across, instead of the standard 30" size. If we got the 30" size, we would need to take our cupboards off the wall, insert a 6" spacer at the end and then put the cupboards back on so that oven would sit in the proper position under the new range hood. That would be lots of work which I didn't want to do right now, especially since my vacation starts in 2 days. The other thing that sucks about this is that if we get a new oven it won't match our fridge and dishwasher because they are almond colour, and they don't make almond appliances anymore. I dunno what I should do. I guess I'll try fixing it first.

Try replacing the element first. I know that they can go but I'm not sure of the symptoms. At least that would cost less than a new oven.
