Cooking in the Oven ?????? 19-2-13

Arriving home and entering my kitchen tonight, I thought that I had children building huts in my kitchen. As my sons are in their twenties that's was not the case as such. It was one of them cooking a roast chicken . To keep the oven door shut he had a chair and a broom, ingenious.

Our house suffered foundation damage in the Feb 22 earthquake 2011. It has been decided that it will be a complete rebuild.. While I am waiting for this to happen we have a slight !!! problem with the oven door . It doesn't shut properly at all and we tape it up to keep the heat in.

I get really nervous cooking to give away. There are two reasons for this. If there is a morning tea at either mine or my Hubbies work I would usually just cook with wheat flour. There is no need to use my rather expensive flours. The only problem with this picture is that

1. I can't taste the mixture to see if it is ok.
2. I can't taste the finished product to see if it is suitable to give away.
3. The oven provides a challenge wondering if the product is actually cooked through or over cooked.

So I tend to stick to the things I made before becoming a Coeliac to give away just to be on the safe side and hope like mad it is cooked.

I will one day get a new oven and then I will have no excuse for my cooking after that. LOL

Tonight's chicken was well cooked and I put the quinoa in the rice cooker . It worked without a hitch. I have run out of it now but I enjoyed it. I took it to work for lunch as a salad with GF ham.

Oven or not we get there .......
