New Appliance

I have always longed for an oven on Naughty-Cal but we always said we couldn't afford to lose the storage space beneath the hob and grill unit which would be the obvious place for it to be. So we have found ways around not having one, which has been no great shakes really. We managed quite well without.

Yesterday however we decided that as winter is only just around the corner and we probably wont be cruising so far from home for the next few months that we may as well buy a small electric oven which will probably go home during the summer months.

So we now have a proper oven but only when we are plugged in. So last night we had to try it out of course with a roast dinner. So it was a slab of Berkshire Pork Belly, with roast potatoes and cabbage and very nice it was too. 

We are already planning what fabulous meals we can cobble together over the winter months. Daft as it sounds we are really looking forward to being able to cook pizzas after we have been to the boat club on a Saturday evening. We usually pop to the takeaway just around the corner but it can become an expensive habit. Now we can rustle up pizza and chips whilst enjoying our last pint in the bar.

Looks like we had a good idea for a change.
