The past few weeks have been like a roller coaster; I have been hanging on and enjoying the ride. I am so thankful for where I have unexpectedly landed. After a good month camping in the woods I have moved into a little apartment on the p.e.a.c.h. farm.
Of the many reasons this is an exciting move, I am most enamored by the fact that I have an oven and stove. A full size oven and stove people!! You see, I haven't had the pleasure of cooking with these lovely appliances for the past three years. How did I manage? I have no idea, but I made it work...with a hot plate and a small toaster oven. Because I am a severe celiac, I make 98% of the food I consume so this was no small feat.
My first night in the apartment I boiled water to make tea. I couldn't even believe how quickly the whole process occurred. Seriously, I was in complete awe at how fast it all happened. Quick boiling water and an oven big enough to hold a baking pan have given me the itch to cook. I have a feeling this is going to be a very delicious summer; living on a farm, cooking what's ripe and fresh, and sharing many meals with friends.
Wellness begins in the kitchen, and there are surely good things to come.
It is nice to hear from you! Yes a stove is a luxury that we all take for granted. I remember grandma Minni's first electric stove in our basement. I am sure she thought it pretty amazing after cooking/baking on wood that was hard to control the temp. Love you keep up the post!! very enjoyable.
