I've finally decided that my oven is female.

Re: I've finally decided that my oven is female.

I'm thinking of naming my Vesta, after the Roman goddess of fire. Seems to fit the whole Neopolitan oven theme. Or maybe I'll just name my oven Betty Page.

Hey Dave, how's it going?
Its not to late to name it now - but did you mend it? Or finish it? I remember at one time you wanted to make it look like a shack and call it the pizza hut.

Nice name Les... so your oven is male, then?

I haven't bought the plaque yet or had my shirt made, but mine is called "Diablo's Den" Your oven NEEDS a name

Les...

dang - my wife reminded me that I get real sarcastic and brutal when I get in a "mood". My apologies to the board

Re: I've finally decided that my oven is female.

Nope! Not touching that one! I'm laying low after the big jugs thread. Geeze, I could get really ugly with that post jengineer.

Dave - how about "Half-a-Dolly" (Parton) for a name?

...and jengineer, we're talking fertility here, not masectomy. You got the wrong part of the anatomy.

sorry no comparison to a taco

that was funny and entertaining Dave. Thanks for the laugh. But i do have one question. Whats Her name?

[asudavew]

Re: I've finally decided that my oven is female.

Maybe one dome makes Dave happy? Why have two when one is so big?

I like the idea of two!
One big one and one little one!!!

Dave, that is a really good list! You should be bored at work more often.

Thanks Frances!

How's it going btw? Did you ever get that promotion or are you still just filling in for you boss?

Indeed I did. A fortunate fellow I am. Life seems to be shining on me lately.

On a more serious note, since building this oven, a couple of people have pointed out to me how archetypally female a WFO is. The oven or hearth being the centre of family life in ancient cultures ("focus" means hearth in latin) (...apparently) and the oven being an ancient symbol of womanhood, with the fire representing life, and yes, buns in the oven and all that, too.

Thanks for pointing this out. It makes sense. My family gathers around my oven. I can only imagine how past communities gathered around for food and warmth.

Dave, about the T shirts you have to give away after passing James. I hope you will stick to your redneck heritage and do some sort or commemorative edition "wife beater" (sorry ladies) with your likeness flipping pizzas on the front or back.
