We just replaced our toaster oven. The newer ones are larger...have convection, air fryers..all we wanted was a plain toaster oven and were able to find one at the local departmant store- area- Boscov's Maryland and PA, don't know where else. But it is simple. We use it every day!
I only use the toaster oven when I have multiple things to go in the oven. It is stored in a box in the “garage”. What do you use it for every day? It seems too small to bake much?
Love my toaster oven, too. I will reheat pizza and other things in it - don't like how they turn out in the microwave. I also make toast in it - LOL.
yesterday I made a Small egg casserole for one person. That was not worth heating up my big oven.Quote:

I think we’ll be eating small pizzas and flatbreads more often with this new device.
DH is bringing in from the garden huge heads of perfect broccoli. They are beautiful! He does not eat cooked broccoli so I’m limited in what I can do with it. With one head I made a broccoli salad. But I froze the rest.
I will use it in soup, but I would like to find a broccoli soup recipe that does not include cheese or cream. Perhaps I can make a potato soup with a chicken stock base and add broccoli.
If DH would eat it in cooked form we would use it up quickly in stirfry, but he will not eat it cooked.
we have a refrigerator full of plums and I suppose I will have to cut them up and put them in the freezer because I can’t use them all at once. We’ve already harvested quite a lot of peaches, and DH took a batch to the food bank.
Mine isn't huge, but it will make 9 largish muffins in the pan DH cut down for me. It makes a good size pizza, and holds my 9x12 casserole. I can bake a small layer cake or brownie, biscuits, rolls, etc. I have a 9x12 baking sheet, which works great for all sorts. And of course it makes lovely toast! And it produces so much less heat in the kitchen!Quote:

IL, I envy your broccoli and peaches! (not so much your plums lol) AND your DH - mine is more of a stationary type and gardens are not something he is willing to contemplate. *sigh*
We have toast, bagesl, chicken (curry added to shake and bake)
Today I found a set of vintage or even antique dining chairs for $60, the entire set of 4.
I have been looking for six months on Facebook marketplace and had seen several sets come and go, the good ones going very fast and we couldn’t get to St. Louis on time because we were busy with other things. But today I saw a new listing on Facebook, we ran into St. Louis and picked them up. I want a nice set and will be reupholstering them, but these came with upholstery that I actually like I will keep them for a while with this upholstery.
I didn’t necessarily want vintage chairs, and I would’ve paid a whole lot more, but I looked into these and they fit in nicely.
It is great to have a husband and a truck to haul this stuff.
Do you already have the table?
Yes, these chairs replace ones we already had. They are nicer, but not as comfortable.Quote:
