21/2 – There’s a first time for everything.

And in this case, it was definitely not the last time – brownies in the microwave oven, mmm… After some two months plus without a proper oven, I thought I should at least give it a try. I’m not the biggest fan of the microwave, except for thawing things and heating the milk for my brunch lattes, but not being able to make any home made bread, roasted potatoes or veggies or any brownies for so long has caused this 80’ies kind of thinking to invade my brain. If we could do anything but boiling eggs and drying our cats in the microwave some 20-25 years ago, I’m sure brownies should be possible still. I wouldn’t call them my best brownies ever, but they turned out ok. No gooey, crunchy edges and not really made for any culinary photo shoots, but icing sugar, whipped cream or ice cream could easily disguise that. Couldn’t be any quicker or cause any fewer dishes than this though.
So what’s next? Bread? Scones perhaps not to make it too advanced? Lasagne? Think I’ll save the lamb roast for a while...

How about some knowledge exchange between Scandinavia and Brazil? Brazil shows Scandinavia the trick how to make proper glad wrap (the wrap over here can actually be used the way it’s supposed to…pretty sticky when you end up tangling it though) and Scandinavia can bring some check-out-counter efficiency to the supermarkets here. Some space for the baskets, some room for the groceries and other hi-tech stuff that might be hard to come up with by yourself.
