The blueberry muffins turned out excellent. I think I've finally nailed the topping. There was a single muffin left at the end of the day, which I attribute to no one ever taking (or admitting to taking) the last muffin. Also, they smelled pretty amazing baking last night, which is always a good indication.
While I've posted previously about small kitchen appliances that I have, there is one that I recently realized I am missing, a toaster oven. I realized this when one of the attorneys brought an old one in to the office. It was almost immediately conscripted into cookie service. In the refrigerator at the office is a tub, the size of which would not be out of place in an elementary school cafeteria, filled with pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough. While I turn my nose up to this pre-packaged convenience food, I must admit it makes a pretty good cookie and requires nothing more than the motor skills sufficient to operate a spoon. Recently someone made a batch while a deposition was taking place. As the smell penetrated the room where the examination was taking place, the attorney taking the deposition ducked out and instructed his assistant to not give a cookie to opposing counsel because of how he was conducting himself in the deposition.
After being exposed to a toaster oven, I don't think I can live for much longer without one. It doesn't have the drawbacks of a microwave or a full size oven, it seems to be the perfect combination. I'm not sure how I've lived so long without one. Thoughts?
