So the other day I wanted to bake some cookies (Hey, they were healthy!)so I mixed up my batter, preheated the oven, and sprayed the cookie sheet, you know the routine. Well, about 10 min later I started feeling slightly light headed, (insert joke here). I looked around the kitchen and couldn't spot anything at first, then I thought, "Hmmm, I smell gas". Yep, the logical conclusion would be that my oven sat at 100 degrees permeating the kitchen with gas.
I cleared out of the kitchen and opened up all the windows, and sat thinking to myself. Well, you would think I would be worried about the gas effects, but NO, I was thinking "now how am I going to cook these cookies?"
Then lo and behold, I caught a glimmer of sun reflecting off my shiny BBQ-er, and got one of those "AH-HA" moments.
I made a mad dash into my gas filled home and grabbed that poor cookie sheet and ran back outside.
Step one, Fire up the grill
Step two, Put cookie sheet in grill
Step three, drink some diet coke
Step four, watch the temperature slowly creep up to 450 degrees
Step five, singe arm hair removing smoking cookie sheet
Step six, (now this is the most important step) DONT GIVE UP
Step seven, give the kids the half cooked burnt on the bottom cookies, so they can dare each other to eat them
Step eight, make another batch and THIS time, turn the burners down to medium, watch the gage go to 375 and then put the new batch in.
Now the amazing thing is that it works! So while my pathetic oven refuses to behave itself, I have been cooking on the grill outside.
I've used it to cook casseroles, cookies, stuffed zucchini, just about anything I can think of, in fact, I've been trying to "find" reasons to use it,
that is until today...
it ran out of gas
(sigh)
I wonder what cookies would taste like over the fire pit? hmmmm
I will be right back.....
