Disaster in the Kitchen

Saturday morning, with 6 hungry guests about to come down for breakfast, I preheated my oven, or so I thought, and an hour before breakfast, opened the oven door to put in the casserole-it was ICE cold. Nothing I did could make it go on.-So I called a neighbor and took the liquid casserole to his house. We made extra coffee, biscotti were already made and with about a 10 minute delay, I served breakfast. The car trip to the neighbor's house, up and down steep hills, was a bit messy, but all in all, breakfast was delicious and the guests were very understanding. Today, with only two guests, I am using my taoster oven. The part for the large oven will be in on Monday and we will be back in business!!!
