Tonight was girl’s night. I hosted at my apartment in celebration of having gotten at least the living and dining areas box free.
Amy decided that we needed brownies since it was her cheat night from her diet. Here’s the big shocker. I have been in my apartment two months now and have never used my stove (The microwave is my friend). Therefore, we christened my stove. I say we…Amy did. Thus, it was she who discovered that my stove had something oddly wrong. Normally, one would expect to see the temperature knob next to the bake knob. Somehow, the temperature knob had been switched with the right front burner knob. This makes it difficult to determine oven temperature unless one has an oven thermometer. Since it is already obvious how often I cook, you already know I don’t have one of those. So we guessed…fifteen minutes later we had partly burnt brownies.
I don’t think I will live this one down. Amy, being the big (by one year) sister I never had delights in harassing me.
First of all, you are in an apartment by yourself again?
Secondly, I was not surprised to hear that you hadn’t used the oven. Can I recommend freezer cooking? You could spend one day cooking and baking then freeze everything in single serving portions. Then you microwave it when time to eat. I think you’d save money and maybe lose weight since the temptation of pizza is slightly less when you have a yummy enchilada casserole waiting for you. Just a thought. = )
I’m right there laughing with Amy!
