Questions for you to answer!

  1. I've read half of Justine Larbalestier's Liar. I was completely surprised by the plot twist in part two, I mean, had no clue at all that it was coming. I have completely lost interest in the book now. Should I keep reading?
  2. Do you put things in the oven while it's still pre-heating? I do it all the time, but recently someone expressed such shock at the very idea that every time I do it I have flashbacks. (I made muffins this morning, in case you're wondering.)
  3. Did you know that Trish is having a baby TODAY?? I am so excited I can't stand it.

  1. I haven't read Liar.... yet.
    I do put things in the oven before it's preheated.
    And I knew Trish was having a baby soon! (Induced today?) Wow, a lot of blogger babies lately!

  5. To Joy- I'm usually ok with that type of book, but it's so unexpected and out of place here. I wanted something real.

  6. Yes, I put things in the oven while it is preheating, much to my husband's annoyance.
    Liar....I liked it enough, but I was also surprised by the plot twist.

  7. I haven't read Liar.

    Depends on what I'm putting in the oven. Cakes, cookies, and pies, no. Anything in glass, no. Meat, yes. Except - the oven at my mom's (my old stove) has a pre-heat setting which is basically the broiler. Do you know how many things we have ruined by forgetting to change the setting to bake?!

    I didn't know about Trish. How exciting! Please keep us posted.

  8. I didn't even know Trish was preggers! Congrats to her!

    Pre-heating matters with baked goods because when it only takes 10-12 minutes to bake cookies, one or two minutes in a less than ideal oven temp couid make a difference.

    I wouldn't be horrified by you doing it though. LOL.

  9. I haven't read Liar, either, but your question has me intrigued.

    I put things in the oven before it's done preheating all the time.

    And I just saw Trish on Twitter and congratulated her. :)

  10. I put things in the oven all of the time while it is preheating. But I feel the need to warn you that I'm both impatient when it comes to cooking and not a very good cook either. So I guess you can take that as you like :P

  11. 1. I think it is still worth reading Liar.

    2. Unless it is for baking, I hardly even preheat my oven. Waste of energy.

    3. I didn't know about Trish but feel excited now just cuz I deeply love all babies!

  12. You crack me up. Thanks for the mention. Trying to draft a post for tomorrow but my dang computer isn't cooperating. Booooooo!

    I don't stick things like cookies or muffins in while in pre-bake mode (nothing that needs to be baked for a specific time). But if I'm cooking or reheating something then I stick stuff in at pre-bake all the time.

  13. 1. I read LIAR. Absolutely loved it. I loved how unreliable the narrator was. I would not like reading a lot of books like that, but wow did it make me think and question to the end. But stopping now is totally your prerogative. Although, you posted this over a week ago so maybe my 2 cents are pointless. lol

    2. I often do stick things in the oven while it preheats, but my oven gets to the dial temperature very quickly, so I don't worry about it messing up the final product.

    3. Congrats Trish! I Love baby news. :)

  14. 1. I haven't even heard of Liar. I am super behind the times on books these days, sadly.

    2. I don't put things in the oven before they're preheated but I'm kind of OCD about doing things all by the book.

    3. I don't know Trish but that's super exciting :)

    Thanks for sharing your blog with me!
