Food In The Fort

Okay, after six to nine months of threatening, I finally managed to buy an oven thermometer. Guess what? My oven, which I had been figuring was about 25 degrees hotter than the little dial claims, is actually a bit more than 50 degrees hotter! So my failure to properly bake crescents, lemon bars, pound cakes and giant chocolate chip cookies can be explained – at least in part. I shall celebrate by attempting the Hershey’s Perfectly Chocolate cake again tomorrow for Susan’s birthday. Huzzah!
