Audrey and I got a wonderful surprise the other day. My mom knows how much we love making whoopie... pies that is. She sent a care package with everything we need for one of our favorite treats. We just had one little problem... our oven. Its kind of a hybrid microwave/oven. By the looks of it its about 30 years old and all of the buttons and nobs are in Japanese so it took us the longest time to even figure out how to use the microwave function. So after living here for three months we had just the excuse we needed to fire up the oven. So on Sunday afternoon it was raining so we put on a movie and Audrey got started on our whoopie pies. When she put the first batch in she quickly realized that this was going to be quite a task with our "easy bake" oven. The first problem was that it was so small she could only bake one whoopie pie at a time. Then she quickly realized that one whoopie pie takes 20 minutes to bake, which is much longer than the 5 minutes it takes to bake 4 in our oven back home. So her whoopie pie baking ended up taking about 3 hours. But let me tell you... it was worth the wait! They were a great snack for a cold and rainy Sunday evening. Thanks Mom and Dad!
