Let's hop back on the blog with a quickie that truly demonstrates life in Mexico: our oven.
Shortly after moving in we noticed the knob that controls the oven was broken. We could get it to light but then that knob would just turn and turn and turn. Was it on high? Low? Medium? Never mind my attempts to convert Celsius. So we asked the landlord to have it fixed.
After a visit from the plumber (seriously) I was presented with all new knobs - installed upside down (so "ignite" is on the "off" side and high flame is with the low picture. Sigh.) except the original knob remained on the oven temperature dial. Just kind of jammed into place. But it works! So they replaced what wasn't broken and half-assed the thing that was.
Sing it with me : whoah, Mexico.
