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.



Whatever makes you happy is what matters. :) I love a good California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizza too.
ReplyDeleteYou're so funny. I wouldn't mind getting a Dyson under the tree though.
ReplyDeleteIf it floats your boat, it's all good!!! I love the tongs! Oh, and the decorated magnets!!

ReplyDeleteand it looks great too!
ReplyDeleteHaving shocked myself badly as a child, with the fork in toaster disaster, I would love to get one of those wooden tongs. :) Lovely Toaster oven!

My daughter-in-law loves her toaster oven.I have never seen the tongs. I will have to pick some up for her. I love the cute magnets also. Happy cooking!
ReplyDeleteI so understand your excitement. I could never afford a regular convection oven and this would be about the closest I would come. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHave fun cooking!! Those are so great to have!! Adore those pretty buttons!! Have a great evening! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteI can why you got so excited, nice!!! And I've been using mine more this summer since it's too hot to have the oven on!
