New oven

After a full year without an oven, I have a new one! After work I had a run to Lidl to pick up some food to test it out with. I debated going full out and cooking something from scratch, a pasty or a tart, but in the end just decided to go for the classic pizza and garlic bread. It was so refreshing to just pop them in and have a meal, without having to cook anything. It was a little disappointing though, home cooked food really does taste better. My plan is to utilise it to reduce cooking time, but not rely on frozen foods like I used to, and make my own things, pasta bakes and pies etc.
As for why it’s been a year… It started tripping the fuse over a year ago, at first it was just when it was turned off, but it started happening more and more until it would trip the switch as soon as it was turned on. I kept meaning to get someone in to looks at it, but I am terrible at motivating myself, and as it was just me being inconvenienced, I adapted. I had microwave meals, used a rice cooker, and bought a knock off George Forman grill. But now I’m planning on getting a roommate, it finally gave me the extra push I needed to get it fixed.
Maybe I’ll be able to do some baking as well! I do love a freshly baked loaf. Maybe some cakes! I’ve been watching GBBO and so much looks so good, and they really do make it look easy.
