Hummus III Recipe. Creamy Avocado Shells + the Clockless Oven. Save Someday, if you’re lucky and I feel like sacrificing our dignity, I will show you a picture of our lovely oven.

Creamy Avocado Shells + the Clockless Oven

Chris originally thought we should name this blog “The Timeless Kitchen” because the oven has no clock. That’s right, read ‘em and weep, literally. At some point the LYK oven’s clock shorted and started beeping uncontrollably, as our smoke alarm also tends to do. Naturally, the previous tenants thought it best to simply rip out the clock. For our first few months living in the LYK we had to guess what the numbers on the temperature dial were since they had all conveniently worn off.
