So this weekend consisted of a couple things: a hot oven & raw dough...as the title suggests. To explain, I spent a couple days this weekend cooking (i.e. a hot oven) and also mixed up some cookies (i.e. raw dough). Now I know some of you out there take pleasure in eating raw cookie dough and cake batter and if you don't - you're missing out. Some days I would rather eat the dough than the actual baked good! Just sayin'!
Also, I live in Wisconsin so I don't just cook and bake for pleasure...I do it for warmth! Even with the heat on our house can be a bit drafty and if all I'm doing is sitting on the couch then I freeze. Solution: make something! Anything to do with turning on the stove or oven provides instant heat or "Insta-Heat" as Andrew would say when we start the car on a winter's day, praying that the heat will turn on instantly! At one point this winter, it was so cold that I actually turned the oven on and left the door open in order to warm up the house a bit without maxing out the thermostat!
