I think 2013 is going to be a year of changes and
improvements in life around the Stay at Stove Dad household. Just look at what
we’ve accomplished already: only a week has gone by in January, and we have finally
fixed our oven. Yes, Virginia, there is a Jenn-Air service company that can
stick to its word.
The saga of the broken oven is last year’s story. We now
have a working one, and that is a wonderful thing. I’m even planning on having a dinner party later this week.
I didn’t know how much I missed the oven until Saturday. I had gone out for a
run, and Santa Maria had been busy while I was gone. She made gingerbread
cookies, and when I came back into the apartment, the first thing I smelled was
the sharp and sweet scent of the cookies baking. Here’s the recipe,
photographed from an ancient cookbook belonging to Santa Maria’s mother.
I hope 2013 is a year of great improvements for you, too. Making these cookies is an easy way to
start. Enjoy!
Congrats on having your oven back :-). I don’t use mine all that often but when I decide I want to bake something, mine had better be there and it had better be working. LOL! Thank you for the Ginger Cookie recipe too. I’ll have to give them a try. Happy New Year!
