SHINY

We got a new oven!! ^_^ It's so pretty.

And my first creation....

PIE!

Pumpkin pie, vegan of course, and my first time making it. And my second time make a pie crust. It went very well this time! I used these recipes: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/piecrustrecipes/r/flakypiecrust.htm

Creeeeeeepessssss

Okay everyone. I had my first crepe yesterday.

I was in Salem with some friends, and we went to a creperie there. The five of us ordered two to share, and while I remember them being quite good, I can't really even remember what they tasted like, because we devoured them so incredibly fast. I didn't even have time to get pictures. =P

But about 2 minutes later, here was the aftermath:

I decided this is something worth learning to make.

I tried it vegan-style, of course. But without the eggs, it's sort of like vegan french toast... not quite the same. But even still, my vegan french toast is HELLA good.

Anyways, the "crepes" were fun to make, but I need to experiment a bit more, for sure.

Sad Day

Our oven died.

And it could be quite some time before we get a new one. So... no delicious cupcakes, for a few weeks at least. =(

We're trying to be creative with our cooking though. Tonight we made chili in the crock pot. Other than that, we've been doing a lot of toaster oven and microwave cooking. Any creative ideas out there? I'm being deprived of many of my favorite foods at the moment.

And of course as soon as I can't have them, I crave them even more. Quesadillas, fried zucchini, muffins, pancakes, cupcakes, etc.

Our household problems tend to come in threes, about once a year. So far the oven's gone, and it looks like our bread machine is dead as well. What's the last appliance going to be?

Are we really that good at killing things around here? =p
