Remember the keep laughing mood I spoke of so highly in my previous post? Well I am relentlessly trying to keep that mentality; you see my oven went bust.  A home cooks worst nightmare.  I love my oven and after living 2 years in an apartment kitchen cooking with electricity I longed, dreamed and eagerly awaited coming home to my mighty gas oven.  The first weeks went off without a hitch. I braised, baked and broiled and even heated leftovers giddy with excitement.  Then “poof,” it was out.

 

 

After I picked myself off the floor I realized one of two things.

One its summer and I should be grilling more than relying on my oven.

Second the oven can be fixed.

I’ve decided not to sweat the small stuff.  So be prepared for a few fridge options and Hey margaritas never require an oven!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These vegetable tacos were the last tasty bites that emerged from my oven. I had an array of vegetables that desperately needed to be used. Tossed with a little olive oil, season and roast. Stuff into a warm tortilla with a sprinkle of cilantro and your set.
