I think 8 is more comfortable and easier...........<br /><br />Over that, meet at a restaurant or have a potluck! ha....Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-14608702174274752102012-09-11T18:45:30.932-05:002012-09-11T18:45:30.932-05:00My gosh Barbara, that's an ambitious undertaki...My gosh Barbara, that's an ambitious undertaking.

Those that have ovens tell me the temps fluctuate.<br /><br />In addition, your altitude is different then Austin - I don't know the altitude of either place.<br /><br />I would think you could go on the internet for microwave instructions and recipes now rather then having cookbooks..........I do. I find the eggs here much, much fresher then the USA. Flour I use that which says for baking.<br /><br />Buen suerte<br /><br />Good luck!Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-28281730999788676712012-09-11T09:44:09.514-05:002012-09-11T09:44:09.514-05:00CC - The lemon bars were made in the toaster oven,...CC - The lemon bars were made in the toaster oven, one pyrex dish at a time. Whenever I'm cooking for a group I usually double recipes. Hence two pyrex dishes of lemon bars - the lemons are from my lemon tree!Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-42262775786385770642012-09-11T07:39:20.028-05:002012-09-11T07:39:20.028-05:00This is a post of amazing timing.

I brought down an electric counter top oven/toaster that works great. I have a microwave but have never used it for food prep. I need your cookbooks! One of my friends back in the States said it was my eggs - that the chickens weren't happy! So, what is the deal here? The flour is broken? The eggs are broken? The propane is broken? I miss cooking!Benne' Rocketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878854351246933656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-74888956414270725422012-09-10T20:54:27.078-05:002012-09-10T20:54:27.078-05:00WOW, I'll have to remember that idea.

The silver is polished. Tablecloth on. We are about to set the table, when the floor tiles beneath start buckling. Crisis time. I didn't want to ask my guests to eat in the kitchen. So I picked up the phone, called one of the invited, and asked if I could have the luncheon at her house. I packed up boxes of food, serving dishes, everything right down to the silverware and napkins and Mormon wine, and took it over there, along with a flower arrangement. I thought about bringing some help, but I didn't know how well that would sit. I brought a houseguest instead. Easiest comida I've ever hosted! And I left enough leftovers for 4 days with the host whose home I invaded. I highly recommend this tactic in the future, although I suspect it's a card that can't be played twice. jennifer rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285568306915329954noreply@blogger.com
