Frustration with Easy Bake Ovens

My kitchen is handily equipped with a late 1950s Martha Washington wall-mounted oven. It's small, cute, and stainless steel, and in the last 5 years has served me very well.

Until last night, when I was planning on a furiously long baking session in preparation for camp. I baked a batch of baking powder biscuits, and set some beautiful baguettes on the stove to rise. We left the house for a little date night, and I returned home to preheat my oven, ready to bake the baguettes. I turned it on. I waited. Nothing.
The oven isn't heating up. I checked the breakers, all was well there. Frustrated and still needing to bake several batches of muffins, and the ever-rising gluten free baguettes, I went to the store.

This was my impulse buy.A Black and Decker Perfect Broil Convection Oven. This morning I am baking some blueberry sour cream muffins, conveyor belt style (and only 6 at a time!), in my little Easy Baker, which sits on the counter in front of my previous Easy Baker, which is no longer with us.

I'll share the baguette recipe with you soon :). I hope you enjoy your week. Mine is going to be filled with laughter and the Sawtooth Mountains.
