Monday Musing: I Found a Toaster Oven!

Actually, a toaster oven found me. A friend of mine is moving and he decided that he is no longer impressed with his toaster oven's appearance and like any true American he decided to upgrade to a better looking model. See generally, Jon Gosselin. So I gladly took it off his hands, gave it a good scrub and am awaiting something to toast.

In vanilla extract news, after a few days the liquid is slowly turning brown. I've read that the process takes about six weeks and beyond that the extract just gets stronger. I was going to post pictures but frankly, I can't be bothered.

Yesterdays recipe had good flavor but was a bit dry. I think the addition of more liquid (milk) would moisten up the recipe. However they do have a nice cakey consistency. However there was grumbling about being dry. I might have to compare them later in the year with my pumpkin spice muffins, which are a perennial favorite and will be posted just as soon as the weather turns cool (in other words, don't hold your breath).
