For a couple of years now, I've used my trusty Black & Decker Toaster Oven on a regular basis. It's been great: saves energy, keeps the kitchen lots cooler than using the oven, and it's easy to use.
However, just as I was placing a batch of Crescent Rolls in Old Faithful, my handy-dandy toaster oven died. Yes, I admit it: I was baking up a batch of the totally bad-for-you bop on the counter tube kind. The kids love them, and I'm weak. Fine, fine: I love them too. We don't eat them all the time!!!!
So, I went on the hunt via the web, of course, for a replacement. And today, I'll be replacing my small kitchen appliance with a GE Convection Toaster Oven from Walmart that will cost me less than $50, has literally hundreds of glowing reviews at both the Walmart site as well as Amazon.com, and get this: it has a rotisserie included!
That's right. I'm gonna be able to have rotisserie chicken, roast, or turkey breast made here at home. From a product that cost less that fifty bucks!! Wowser. Happy Dance.
Now, there's a catch. It can't be a BIG rotisserie chicken or roast or whatever. I've got a 5 pound limit. But that's okay. That's doable.
So, folks, here I go -- off to Walmart for my new gizmo. Simple life, simple excitement.
And guess what I'm making for dinner?
