The stove finally arrived yesterday, the contractor connected it today, and once A braved its dark innards to light the pilot light (still wondering why the contractor didn't do that himself), we can officially announce that we have a fully functional kitchen!
I promise I'll get back into trying out new Israeli recipes soon. Tonight I couldn't handle much more than store-bought tortellini with Ragu sauce, Brussels sprouts and ready-to-bake Toll House cookie dough ;-)
The stove definitely needs to be broken in...
