False. But you can not buy parts directly from Dacor. You have to go through one of their parts distributors. Where I live, the distributor is an outfit called Marcone. They have several different numbers in our area, but all are routed to a single call center. I have ordered a few parts from them for our ERD-36 range. If they have them in stock it takes a couple of days. If they need to get the part from Dacor, it takes 7-10 days. If you really really need it, Dacor can drop ship it to you in a day or two. Be prepared to pay huge extra shipping charges though.

Sharon, I am trying to fathom quail eggs for a reasonable price. I am lucky to be able to get them for free, I have seen them for sale for more then $1 a piece. They are a convenient size when baking as well when you think a recipe would benefit form a little more egg. I am sure all of the topics will help me and be of interest. I struggle with both those topics. Especially the artificial lights in the winter as al our meals are after dark. I am using a DSLR that my DH recently got me and these still apply. -Robin

Dave, I'm glad you're keeping in touch here. So many of us care about what happens to you and your boy and any words of comfort that we may offer you, if they help, we're glad. You're right, it gets better when it gets better. I think the most important thing right now is to keep one foot in front of the other. That's what we did for a long time after we lost our boy and granddaughter. I know our situation is different from yours, but it did help us to keep going, even though we felt for a long time that we were just going through the motions. I don't know what happened to the first three months after the accident, except that I made pickles and jam, something I hadn't done in decades. We just kept going. How fortunate you are to have your little boy, your wife's wonderful gift to you. I know it must be hard being a comfort to him when you yourself hurt so very much. After all this time, I still grieve that we have nothing left of our boy Dave. His daughter was his only child. It still hits me hard that there is nothing on this earth left of him, except memories. Your little boy is a beautiful reminder of your wife's love for you, in addition to the wonderful memories you have. Take care, and God bless you and your son.

Thank you for posting this! I'm taking forever to move back into my new kitchen! My dh has been asking why I haven't put everything away and it's because my kitchen lives so completely different than my old one. He doesn't understand that because he thinks the layout looks basically the same. But we swapped the ovens and fridge, added a prep sink and moved the cooktop off the island to a new peninsula. I'm taking my time because I want to live in it and move things where I want them vs where they landed because I don't want to have to move them multiple times. Now that I've gotten the basics where I want them, I'm moving seasonal items to those harder to reach upper cabinets and filling in empty cabinets with occasional use items. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your new space when it's done. :)
