I recently moved across the country to a new state. I had to rent a place sight unseen so we could save money on paying for hotels. The lady got into contact with us a few months prior to the move and she sounded nice enough. She sent us pictures of the house and told us about the neighborhood. We spoke a few times on the phone and everything seemed fine. She has an older house built in the 30′s and told us she would be fine with us taking down her wallpaper and painting if we wanted.
We move across the country. The day we got there we had just spent 12 hours driving through horrific weather and by the time we get there we are exhausted and it’s dark out. She tries to insist that we go to midnight mass with her. I explain that my husband and I have been driving for 12 hours and just want to go to sleep. We finally convince her that we just want to go to sleep. She shows us the house and it obviously hasn’t been taken care of. The wallpaper is coming down (which she fixes by painting a patch of paint over the hole). The cabinet doors close with velcro, windows are cracked or broken. I could go on and on. Needless to say, if I had looked at the place before we moved, we never would have rented it. There is also no oven, a stovetop, but no oven. She told us that the oven was broken, but inferred that we would just buy one and take it with us. There isn’t any place to put an oven in the kitchen. Now we have to cook with a toaster oven. The bathroom walls are covered with religious messages from her and her daughter.
A few weeks later my husband calls about painting her hideous pink walls a more neutral color which she could pick out of the paint swatches we sent her. She completely freaks out and yells at my husband, she doesn’t know why any body would want to change anything in her precious house because it’s perfect in every way. After a few weeks she relents. She comes over to “check on things” and loves the paint color.
A couple months after that, my husband goes to wash the cars in the driveway and the faucet won’t turn off. We call and let her know, and she asks if we use a wrench because that’s what she always did. We try to use a wrench, but it is completely stripped from her wrenching on it for 30 years. She then proceeds to blame us and tells us that it worked perfectly when she used it in December (which isn’t possible because the snow was too high). It takes her two weeks before she relents and calls a plumber to fix it. During this time, water is spraying out onto the driveway and creating increasingly large ice puddles.
Yesterday, she came over to “check on things” again. She is two hours late and then spent 3 hours poking around the house, opening cabinets and drawers and talking on her cell phone the entire time. A tree in her yard blew down during a wind storm and my husband thoughtfully chopped it up and disposed of it. She yelled at us, telling us it was her daughters tree and it was our fault that it was dead. There was no saving the tree. Her mother is extremely old and sick and she let the poor woman sit in the car for the entire three hours she was there.
The point of this is, I don’t want her to come over to the house again. She is extremely attached to the house and resents having people live in it, even though we take care of it. She resents having to spend any sort of money on maintenance (like fixing the broken windows). What can I say to her to make it clear that I don’t appreciate her coming over every few weeks “to visit”. I know that it’s her property and she has a right to see it, but she is not acting in a professional manner at all. She acts as though she still lives in the house and my husband and I are just visitors. I’m afraid that she will start coming over to the house and letting herself in while we aren’t there. What can I say to make her get it?

I mean, she TOTALLY came onto me first!!

Like the stereotypical Asian family (some people might not even know this stereotype, we Asians do), my family uses the oven for storage and ONLY storage, never baking. I’m too lazy to take out all the pots (and believe it or not, different kitchen materials too) then put it back in after baking (unless I make a cake).
I have a rather small toaster oven (pretty much standard though), and I was wondering if I could make cookies or brownies in it. I have a baking sheet big enough to make about 9 cookies, and the toaster oven most definitely has the settings to bake things, but I just want to know if I should use it or the real oven instead.
Can someone also explain to me by how you could flour a baking pan? I would just use Pam for the greasing, but I don’t know how to flour a pan, I think I’d wind up with flour mainly in one spot and not enough in others.
