My kitchen is now almost fully equipped. I'm waiting until after Christmas to order a Braun immersion blender + food processor combo, and I'm planning on bringing some more pans, more pots, cooling rack, and rolling pin. And then I can pretty much make anything I want.
I've decided to completely forgo a microwave oven, having lived quite well the last four months without one. But I remembered how handy it can be when I set out to make brownies for the pizza party, and needed to melt butter with the chocolate. Check out my makeshift double boiler! I also had to melt in two batches because my metal bowls weren't large enough.
But the brownies still came out nicely. My old boss called these "crack brownies" for how addictive they are.
I also made an apple cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. The walnuts made a really nice visual impact, but they were also there to cover up the slightly lumpy frosting with some unblended chunks of butter (and potentially powdered sugar that had been "sifted" through my colander).
