I Get Excited About the Darndest Things

Special delivery came yesterday.

No, not something from etsy.

Not ebay either.

No pretty shoes or jewelry or clothes.

What did I so gleefully tear open yesterday?

A toaster oven!

Yup!  

(digression alert:  Do you watch Storage Wars?  I like their discoveries, but do they have to be so mean to each other?  I mean really, is that just for the show?  Why am I asking?  YUUUP!)

But honeys, it's not just a simple little toaster oven.  No siree!

This one's convection and it can toast 6 slices of bread!!!

It will hold a 12" pizza!  (Yes, don't make me get defensive - I like an occasional frozen pizza, especially California Pizza Kitchen ones - yummmm. Should've had a digression alert here too.)
This one's my favorite - wish they still made it!

Isn't a pretty white too?

And I have to share with you one of my favorite kitchen tools - voila - the toaster tongs.  
I got my first set Cost Plus World Market when I worked there in college and this is my second set there too a few years ago.  Why do I love my toaster tongs?  Well, you can use these to grab hot things out of your toaster without having to unplug it and now I can use them to grab hot things out of my new toaster oven.

Just in case that wasn't pretty enough for you I threw in some little kitchen pretties....

I've had them for several years, but I am about 98% sure they were made by the amazing Amy from Into Vintage.  

Oh and one more thing!  I can make little batches of cookies in it.  C'mon over and I'll have some nice warm fresh from the (toaster) oven chocolate chip cookies and a nice big glass of milk for you!  Wouldn't that be nice?
P.S.  Please don't tell Worker Bee I like kitchen appliances.  I don't want to get a vacuum cleaner or an egg cooker under the Christmas tree this year.

  8. I so understand your excitement. I could never afford a regular convection oven and this would be about the closest I would come. Enjoy it!

  9. I am envious of your new oven! Our "real" oven has not worked in over 3 years (no funds to replace) so we use the toaster oven for all our baking :) It is just 2 of us, so we get by I have cooked everything from turkey to cake in it! Have fun with yours.
