Ok. I didn't have an Easy Bake Oven as a kid. But my sister did. Fun for a child...but to quote Monica from Friends, "It is unrealistic to expect a child to wait an hour for a lightbulb to cook brownies!" How true.
I don't really enjoy cooking all that much. Maybe I would if I had more time - but after a long day cooking is really the LAST thing I want to think about. Usually anyway.
Every once in a while I will get in the mood to bake. For some reason, baking and cooking are two different things in my mind. Separate categories. Maybe that's because baking will most often end with a delicious pie or cake or cookie to eat. MMMmmmm.
Last night I got the opportunity to bake some cookies for a co-worker who helped me out yesterday way above and beyond what he had too. And I got to use one of my new toys...
Oooooo.....aaahhhh..... That's right. My generous Aunt and Uncle gave Mark and I a Kitchenaid Mixer for a wedding present. Making cookies has never been so easy. My arm didn't get weary at all because I wasn't the one doing the mixing.
I highly recommend this appliance if you can get your hands on one!
