Easy Bake
Thank you for the Easy Bake oven, Illiane! We broke it out this evening and made cookies. These cookies, according to the package, contain all kinds of goodies like partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil and pack a whopping 160 calories each.
We also learned an important lesson about letting things cool down before touching them. A lesson which apparently had to be learned the hard way, by Emily touching a pan fresh from the “oven” leaving a red mark on her thumb. As God is my witness, I warned her many, many times. She just got excited and forgot as she tried to pull the pan out a little farther.
“OUCH! Ouch ouch ouch ouch!” We learned to run cool water on it, and then she went in and put a bandaid on her hand. Well, she’ll probably remember the lesson better that way than she would from just my warnings. To quote Em, “That really, really did hurt!”
However, with all that, the cookies were good (I only had a crumb which broke off, and two are still in the fridge), and Em had a very good time. I’m going to poke around online, but I’m pretty sure I could make regular chocolate chip cookies in these, so I may see if Em wants to try to make her own sometime.
Thanks again, Illiane! If there’s anything else your girl doesn’t want, keep us in mind!
Yeah, I hope she learns. Because I touched a pan in the oven today.
But I ran it under cold water too!

I learned something too – we need to buy some aloe vera gel!

Hm, I thought you were supposed to run burns under warm water because it was homeopathic?

I read that with mixed emotions.
1) YAY! coz it sounded like she had fun!
2) OH NO I didn’t even think to read the ingredient list – I’m so sorry about the hydrogenated stuff 🙁 Do you think ingredients mixed from scratch will work ok in the easy-bake?

Nope. Cool running water is universally accepted as the first step for minor burns.
