As some of you may be aware, these last few months have involved some big changes which have kept me away from the blog. The biggest one was a recent move into a new apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. I’ll spare those of you that haven’t heard this sob story from the details, but out of all this chaos with finding a new apartment came 1 really great thing – an actual oven:
I know it may seem petty --- to get so excited about finally having an oven, but after living in NYC your expectations for any kind of common amenities are pretty low. Finally -- an oven to bake more than 6 cookies at a time in, an oven that will fit a full cupcake pan without burning the tops and leaving the middles unbaked, and oven that will fulfill all my baking hopes and dreams…Over the last few weeks, I’ve been putting a lot of thought into what will become of the blog. Obviously the name will have to change since I no longer live in Alphabet City. That seems like a pretty easy one though… just think of a cute little title and slap it on the homepage. But what will the content be? Without the convection oven, I’m just baking like a regular poor person. Oh sorry – person on a “budget” (of $0).
So here we are folks. The trusty Big-Lots blender is still kicking, but after only 3 posts we’re back to square one. Should I just scrap it and start over with a new theme like “healthy baking”? Should I keep on with the overly-used approach of budget baking with a catchy title to set it apart? Suggestions are welcome and baked temptations will be on the way in the next few weeks!
