I Darn Busted The Oven

The range top still works, but both the broiler and lower heating element are broken. No great loss really, I hated that thing. My luck, it will probably be repairable. GE Hotpoint-Boo Hiss!

Before it broke however, I made some really wonderful refrigerator oatmeal cookies with lemon zest and molasses. So good...they broke the oven. Oh well, I'm under the weather and didn't feel like cooking anyway.

Obviously, I won't be baking a Lenten cake tomorrow. Instead, here are some of the better ones from previous years. The common theme is lack of eggs, butter and sometimes, milk. I will try to get one up each Friday through Lent, provided I have a working oven. This year I might try playing with soy milk and egg replacers-we'll see.

I'll get the cookie recipe up soon-those were really fantastic.
