What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

See, that's what I thought might be happening, but I feel like some of my things have been undercooked lately. We'll see what happens with this turkey meatloaf concoction thing.

Every oven is different, too. I have to set my ancient oven higher than the recipe calls for and often cook it longer too.

I feel rather bad about it, but I am sniggering helplessly over P-C's oven worries. I concur that this is the way the oven is suposed to work. Only a bachelor would not know this, and only a precision-oriented scientist bachelor would even notice. It's (I'm sorry! ) cute!

Many ovens are off in actual temperature. Some get hotter, some stay cooler. You could get yourself a separate oven thermometer to find out what it's actually heating up to. My mom had to do that with her oven. Also, don't open the oven door too many times. You lose heat fast that way and it will slow the cooking down because the oven takes longer to come back up to temperature.

Hee hee. You're making me smile, flea. I like the phrase "precision-oriented scientist bachelor." In fact, I believe I will tag it.

Not just bachelors, bacheloresses, too. You don't want to know what my daughter doesn't know about cooking and she's 25.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

so far I have made sweet potato pie, and irish soda bread ( DH helped with that) - shepard's pie soon. and I did nap briefly.

I forgot that it is difficult to stop eating irish soda bread.

Yes, I was using "bachelor" in its sense of "shorthand for one who eats bachelor chow from a tube." Not gender-specific.

I was going to suggest an oven thermometer. too. It is much better if you aren't a wing - it cook.

The dreaded tube! Mold, hopefully, not included.
