cursive mechanic's Profile

We've been without an oven for nearly two years in our rental apartment. Replacing it would require removing door-frame moldings and moving an entire row of bookcases, so we've been putting it off.

We've gotten by quite nicely with a countertop toaster/convection oven. I've been able to make everything I normally would in it -- pies, loaves, small whole chickens -- save for cookies and pizza. The latter I miss the most as I used to make pizza almost every Friday night.

Of course, now that we're looking to move a functional oven is at the top of the must-have list, but I have learned that I can live and cook without a full-sized one.
