It's understandable, you got a new appliance, I think it is just normal, not silly. When you possess something new, of course you tend to be focus on it everytime looking at it, using it a lot, tinkering on it, cleaning it, taking care of it, etc. Most of us does this, it goes with anything from house, cars, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, stereos, cell phones, jewelry, clothes, make-ups, and many more, all new things get our attention for quite a while.As you've said nothing to worry, it will pass, and everything will be normal again. Good Luck and happy cooking.
Just don't fall asleep in front of what you're cooking..lol.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
