I got a wonderful surprise when I went to work today...my parents bought me a TOASTER OVEN!!! Eeeee!! For those of you who may not be jumping out of your skin like I am, this is an appliance that is extremely hard to come by and VERY much appreciated in Korea. With a two-burner gas range stove and no microwave, it makes cooking a decent meal here nearly impossible. The burners on the stove don't maintain the same amount of heat so one side of the pan gets hotter than the other...and if you ever make anything that has leftovers, count on eating it cold since there's no microwave to pop it into and heat up.
But, luckily for me, I have a toaster oven now so my cooking options are endless!! The minute I got home, I started Googling "toaster oven recipes" and came up with some really great ones. You know what I'm most excited about?! Making homemade chocolate chip cookies again! Wooty!
So...thank you to my parents for giving me this toaster oven. And by the way, they gave it to me for an early birthday present since my birthday is in 14 DAYS!! ... and I'll be 24. WHAT?! :)
Oh my goodness, that is so exciting! Baking is one thing I am continually missing here!!
