The Kitchen Experiment


Last week after a miscommunication on an appointment I decided that I would use my newly found time to test out the mini oven in the mini kitchen. I figured when life gives you lemons (i.e. missing an appt.,) you make lemonade (and by lemonade I mean brownies.)

I'm not sure what was more comical- me trying to cook where the only measuring cup available was the blender (in the metric system with the recipe in imperial -U.S.- units), the mini oven/microwave that is the cousin of the Easy Bake Oven (also in Celsius,) or the new hand mixer that sent brownie batter everywhere making the tiny kitchen look like a monkey ran in and flung poo everywhere.

Luckily I was able to clean it up before housekeeping got there. Despite the guestimation on the ingredients, the brownies were delicious. Did I mention I miss my western kitchen?

Since this blog is intended to be informative, here are the lessons learned....make sure to pack measuring cups, a carpenter is only as good as their tools, a good sense of humor goes a long way and brownies are good no matter what country your kitchen is in.

Happy Trails,
