Vale my oven... you served so well.

I've had a great week at work. I love my new job. I love the fact that the travel time to and from work is equivalent to driving in one direction to my previous work. I love the fact that I am home earlier... particularly being home earlier to cook. It seems, however, that my oven has had other ideas. It no longer heats anything. I learn't this when attempting to bake potatoes. So, for the week I have made pasta and grilled food. I am beginning to run out of things to cook, particularly as I like to warm things in the oven and slow cook food. 

My oven was measured today and I look forward to the new oven which will most probably be installed on my birthday! If all goes to plan I should be receiving a bright red Kitchen Aid Mixer. I'll have to bake something and post some pictures!

I ate the most delicious ice-cream this evening. Maggie Beer's 'Burnt fig, honeycomb and caramel' ice-cream. It's absolutely delicious and a wonderful indulgence. I hope that you are having a great weekend.

At least you get a new oven! But it is sad when such beloved items reach their ends...

Yes, particularly when I can't bake anything, warm or cook anything...
