convection oven bake off!

so, one of my coworkers decided to buy a small convection oven, just in time for turkey day in the other part of the world. since jim and i are the only ones who appear to know anything about turkey cookin', he dropped it at our house (it's a very portable oven, as you can see). now, i have this oven for about four days. and i think i'm about to go bakin' crazy! you must understand, such things are unheard of in this country. no one, and i mean no one, has an oven. a list of delectable treats that i will be making this evening and beyond:
  • cornbread
  • persimmon tart
  • apple pie
  • sweet potato casserole (sans marshmallows)
  • brownies
  • herb and apple stuffing
  • and two lovely turkeys!
wish me luck. i've got a serious head cold, and i can't breath well enough to taste anything. so, we'll see how this goes. i'll give the full report with photos later!
